Pre-Recorded Workshop + Handbook for Women Ex-Boarders

In this pre-recorded workshop, you will get the opportunity to reflect and understand how your own experience at boarding school may have shaped your development and influenced your identity as a woman.

I explore subjects such as relationships with other women, our own sexual development and how that may affect your sexuality now.

Do you have your own inner misogyny now as a result of growing up in an institution with strong patriarchal values and how does that show up today?

Do you carry shame about who you are?

It is often the male experience of boarding school that is spoken about and in this workshop you will get the opportunity to reflect, use your voice and recognise that your voice and experience matters.

You matter.

Upon purchase, you will receive access to the pre-recorded workshop as well as an editable workbook for you to complete.

What People Are Saying About Working With Amelia:

I benefitted more than I could have imagined possible from the process of being heard by, and witnessing the expressions of other ex-borders that have recognized that their early experiences were negatively consequential and who are ready to explore how they might move on.

I was ready to do the work. This was important for me at this particular time as I have done a lot of other work over the last 10 years or so. This course made everything else clear; it filled in all the gaps and also at the same time provided a "big picture" of how everything up to this point fits together. It is hard to describe; almost like a veil being lifted and clarity filling all the little gaps in knowledge and understanding for those brilliant moments of understanding. It has definitely shifted something and opened up other things I need to process. It has been so important simply to validate my experience.

I'm able to have a better understanding of that 11 year old girl and what she grew in to and feel very sad for her grief. Whether I am actually feeling the depth of that grief yet I don't know. I feel sad and angry on behalf of the 72 year old adult too who still has such a low opinion of herself and is tortured about her weight. I feel sad for my mother who knew she had made an error but the consequences were irretrievable. It made me look into the past and how it has shaped me. I have always thought that I was so lucky and privileged to be sent to a boarding school. I still believe that boarding schools have lots to offer in terms of extra curricular but the trade off for people like me is quite damaging. I have come to realise that having had my attachment with my parents broken at such a young age has been very damaging.

My goal was to reconcile with my adult children who unfortunately had to go through BS as well. During the course they were open to me sharing what I was learning and feeling; this enabled us to begin rebuilding our relationships. It will take more from here but the most difficult barrier has been addressed; to just start talking honestly and sharing experiences. I managed to open up during the module on Shame. It was so freeing for me to realize I was being silenced by shame. Once I got that, I was able to have understanding and compassion for the small child within me and the experiences that she had endured. I am more relaxed and open with my husband which is great. I also had a more honest and open conversation with my mother on the phone which felt more authentic and that was also really good. One of my closest friends said I was more self assured, more in my body and clearer.
