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

Outremer Week is 5 days of intensive training, both on land and on water. Those courses will improve your seamanship skills so you are better prepared for when you take delivery of your Outremer catamaran. It is also a great way to socialize with other Outremer owners.
