Fear is one of the most overlooked experiences in boarding school life. 

In this episode, Piers reflects on his own memories of fear and explores why so many ex-boarders still carry hypervigilance and survival patterns into adulthood.

 Drawing on research from Suzanne Zeedyk, Nick Duffell and Emma Seppälä, along with real stories from former boarders, Piers explains how fear shapes the nervous system — and how we can begin to heal. 

A compassionate, grounded discussion for anyone exploring boarding school syndrome or emotional recovery.
