And we’re off! 🌎 Today marks the start of our passage across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. Light winds made for a slow start, but nature put on a show—dolphins, small whales, and even turtles, some swimming upside down! We checked to make sure they were okay, and luckily, they were. With the wind dying, we’ll be motoring through the night, but a big highlight was testing our spinnaker setup for the first time. Now, about 800 nautical miles to go until our first stop in Cabo Verde! ⛵📍 If you would like to see our exact location you can check our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/patandfrankie! #sailing #atlanticcrossing #caribbean #boatlife

Here are a few situations where focusing on or changing your breathing may not help during a trauma response: - Panic Attacks* 😰: Breathing heavily can lead to hyperventilation, reducing carbon dioxide levels in your body. Deep breaths may worsen it, making you feel lightheaded. 🫢 Deep breathing is counterproductive when hyperventilating. - Unsafe Body Focus* 🚫: For some trauma survivors, focusing on the body feels unsafe, especially after medical trauma, sexual assault, or dissociation. 🫀 If connecting with your body is overwhelming, try safer coping strategies instead. - Self-Judgment* 🪞: Judging yourself for not breathing “correctly” can intensify anxiety or panic. 🤔 Instead of focusing on the breath, explore alternative coping strategies. - Inability to Breathe* 🫁: Struggling with breathing techniques due to medical issues, lack of practice, or uncertainty? ❌ Remember, other strategies exist to manage trauma responses without focusing on your breath. . . #TraumaHealing 💙 #MentalHealthAwareness 🧠 #CopingStrategies 🌱 #EmotionalWellness 🌟 #AnxietyRelief 😌 #TraumaRecovery 💪 #MindBodyConnection 🫶 #SelfCareTips 🌺 #PanicAttackSupport 💨 #HealingJourney 🛤️ #StressManagement 🕊️ #SelfCompassion 🤍 #EmotionalResilience 💖 #InnerHealing 🌻#healingonboard
