We will explore how separation from attachment figures may influence a child’s development. With a particular focus on early boarding, we’ll consider how it can shape our attachment behaviour and have a profound impact on how we approach relationships.
How are caregiving and care-seeking behaviours impacted?
How does early attachment – in the years before boarding – colour the subsequent experience of boarding school?
How can therapists recognise and attune to this experience. Are there special challenges for therapists whose own experience was very different, and other challenges for therapists whose experience was very similar and who may be triggered by the client’s story?
What is the particular impact of trauma and abuse experienced at boarding school?
I will use a PowerPoint presentation to share my understanding of these questions. We’ll work on specific focused small group exercises and hopefully have lots of lively discussion.
The day aims to equip us with skills for attuning and inform us how individuals are wounded differently according to their pre-existing attachment patterns.
Who is the workshop aimed at?
The workshop would be useful for practitioners who are becoming curious about the impact of boarding and want to increase their sensitivity to clients with this experience. It would also be interesting for those who are familiar with boarding but would like to consider the attachment implications.
