The Path of Recovery From Trauma, Abuse & Boarding School Syndrome | AEM #99 Bryn Edwards

What is the path of recovery from childhood trauma, abuse and boarding school syndrome?
What does it look like?
Today I am talking with Bryn Edwards about his journey of recovery. Bryn went to boarding school from age 8-18. He was a complier. 1st XV Rugby, and sportsman.
He also talks about colonisation and how that links to boarding school.
He talks about the difference between trauma and abuse. And he shares his ideas around the inner indigenous (a subject Nick Duffell explores in Wounded Leaders) and what we can do to reconnect to it.

Bryn Edwards has worked in the dynamic field of organisational and cultural psychology, solving problems at the intersection of culture, team performance, and individual mental and emotional health for many years. He hosted the WA Real Podcast for 4 years hosting over 200 episodes. And he has completed a three-year mentorship to become a practitioner of Roslyn Snyder’s Realm Theory, the comprehensive psychology framework revealing the universal principles shaping our lives.
Some areas to talk about:
1. Your journey to get where you are today?
2. Actual dynamics of colonisation and the process of assimilating into it (and out).
3. Being British and linking it to boarding school as a fractal of this.
4. Looking at the history of Britain not just as a coloniser but also as a colonised state.
5. Britain was colonised in 40AD and had been ever since by different European elements.
6. Britannia was its first given colonised name (think Bombay-Mumbai or Ceylon-Sir Lanka), it had another before - Albion. So everytime we sing Rule Britannia, we are celebrating our own colonisation; and for me celebrating our collective trauma and servitude.
7. Intergenerational trauma: the cycle of abuser/abusee flowing from generation to generation.
8. This collective trauma invoked from within himself as part of my own bigger healing journey.
9. The well-honed ‘capacity to bear’ something he almost celebrated, something drilled into him not just at school but also by merely being British.
10. Colonisation and boarding school and other such inhumane artefacts as acceptable.
