9. Part 2: Unpacking Boarding School Trauma

Dr. Jaap Kaur Waraich

In this episode, we continue the deep dive into the psychological effects of British boarding schools, particularly those in Northern India during the mid-20th century. We are exploring how childhood trauma impacts brain development, leading to long-term psychological effects such as dissociation, memory suppression, and emotional detachment. Understanding these effects sheds light on why many former students struggle to recall specific details of their schooling or remain fiercely defensive of their institutions.
