Boarding Recovery
A few words about us
The BOARDING RECOVERY counsellors and psychotherapists have undertaken specialist training in working with adults who are ex-boarding school pupils.
We find that ex-boarding school pupils may be affected by childhood experiences in the most subtle yet devastating ways, and they often exhibit characteristics such as the following:
Boarding school survivors may ...
...be competent, self-reliant and independent
...be able and willing to endure hardship for long periods without complaint
...have a deep mistrust of a personal approach
...value bravery, integrity and public service more highly than personal needs
...be a perpetual 'outsider'
...keep their distress hidden from themselves
...be stoical
...have dysfunctional behaviours of which they are deeply ashamed
...be highly successful
