That could have been a COSTLY MISTAKE!! #sailing #racing

Thank you to the SO's of Erik Andreaa and Capt Glenn Shephard, as well as Malvina for getting this amazing footage for us! When we were invited to race on a Volvo Ocean 70 for the Halicarnassus Cup in Turkiye, we knew we would be in for a day of adventure. What we did not expect was for the spinnaker to blow on us as we were cruising downwind at 15 knots! It's a good thing our crew jumped into action right away, and we were all able to work together ro get it under control.

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.
