I agree with Echo actually. I've been in therapy since I was twenty-three. I had some very useful therapists and some whose advice was insane (no pun intended). I think the boarding house advice would not have changed anything even if you could have found such a person. Reminds of of when I first took Sonic for help for his early tantrums and was told to put him in a time out and demand he sit there for three minutes. If I did, he would stop his tantrums. Uh-huh. Suuuuuuuuuure. What do you do when they scream and throw the chair? These are just theories. Psychology is not an exact science and nobody knows what or if anything will magically help, but for the money you pay at a boarding school, I'd have expected better advice than THAT. Jeeeeez. Makes me angry.
It's scary that there was sexual abuse in a place that is supposed to be safe and monitored at all times. I know it goes on in some residential treatment centers too.
