3 Books on Childhood Trauma Let us dive into the depths of three transformational books illuminating the nuances of childhood trauma. 1. "The Myth of Normal" by Gabor Maté aims to unpick popular but accepted notions of normality, pointing out how societal roles can be conduits for the transmission of trauma in children, dispelling the rationality about understanding mental health and wellness. 2. "No Bad Parts" by Richard Schwartz introduces the reader to the model of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and offers it in a gentle and compassionate approach, explaining how there are different parts of our psyche. Schwartz illustrates how all parts within us, even the apparently bad ones, contribute to our healing process. 3. "The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk. The book seems to delve into complicated relationships about trauma and body integration. The scientist blends his scientific research with personal narratives that expose how trauma actually lives in the body and the pathways toward healing found through innovative therapies. Together, the books powerfully explore childhood trauma by giving hope and strategies for recovery. Whether a mental health provider, survivor, or simply interested in how trauma affects people, these readings are crucial to comprehend healing.

We had an interesting final sail on Peter's Firebird in the most wind I sailed in when in Barbados - we sailed with 2 reefs. Peter's friend Eric has a foiling waveboard and he wanted to foil behind the Firebird. In the end he managed it, but there was lots of falling in at the beginning. It was hard work for Peter and I as we had to start at near zero speed, so Eric could grab the tow rope, then slowly accelerate to about 7 knots so he could get ready for lift off. Then accelerate to 10 knots very quickly, so he could lift out. And then control the speed at 10-12 rather than surge up to 15-18. But of course the wind would drop, or he'd fall in or.... but, as I say, after 2 hours he did manage to fly for maybe 30 secs. Although, if we were quick enough, we could stop and heave to after he fell in, sometimes we sailed on too far and then we had to pull in the tow rope (we discovered it was too easy to get it entangled on rudders and daggerboards), tack round and sail back. As always it was scary how quickly a head disappears from view. But interestingly we could easily see him when he was in the sun, it was when he was north of us that he became invisible (one of his sons kept a very close eye on Dad, religiously pointing to his position). Flat water helped, and lots of passing day charter cats got a bit confused by seeing a swimmer apparently a mile out to sea but happily waving!
