If you went to boarding school and you struggle with some of the following:

  • difficulties in relationships and parenting

  • difficulties with intimacy

  • working too much

  • difficulties relaxing

  • feeling isolated or like you don't fit in

  • substance abuse 

  • a sense of failure 

  • physical, sleep, and sexual problems

You may be suffering from boarding school syndrome, which is a pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviours which we evolve in response to the experience of being sent away to boarding school.

In this short e-book, you will learn 

  • how the boarding school experience impacts on our mental health as children

  • how you would have created a survival personality to keep you safe at school

  • how that survival personality might be tripping you up in adulthood

  • how you can create a new way of being in the world and in your relationships

  • the next steps you can take on your journey to going beyond survival

We are called boarding school survivors because we had something we had to survive. When we find ourselves in a challenging situation, we develop skills and strategies to keep us safe and help us survive. The problem is that these strategies continue to influence our behaviour many years later. This short guide will help you recognise and integrate these survival strategies - an important part of the healing process.

Sorrel Pindar

I am a trauma-informed, relationship & well-being coach. I work with people who have hit a road-block in their relationships, many of whom also struggle with stress, anxiety and depression.

I have 18 years experience of working with people with mental health problems including PTSD & C-PTSD. As a boarding school survivor, I have a particular interest in people who themselves attended boarding school.

Apart from the childhood trauma of boarding school, my experience includes a bereavement by suicide when I was 20. I am the survivor of three challenging relationships, in which I endured emotional abuse. I'm now in a healthy and very loving relationship with my current partner.

I am certified as a Relational Life Coach with the Relational Life Institute so that I can work with couples as well as one-to-one clients.

As a Certified Advanced CLARITY® Coach & Facilitator, I take a spiritual approach to coaching. I'm also a licensed One of Many™ women's coach, so I can bring a more female approach to coaching.

I have a BSc and an MPhil in Psychology, but in the last seven years I've realised that there is much to be gained by taking account of our spiritual nature - or what many of us call 'true nature.' This is the source of the creativity & compassion which enables us to heal from the inside-out.
