Trauma-informed practices in school settings aim to help students understand how past traumas may trigger memories of hurt and neglect, how they can distinguish these earlier memories from the present, so that they can form themselves into healthy, functioning adults. Although approaches adopted thus far may remedy students' cognitive, emotional, and social well-being, little is done to address the spiritual needs that many students may also need to individuate and lead healthy lives in an often difficult world. To address this gap, this article applies Jung's work on individuation in the context of spirituality, shamanism, and Bakhtin's idea of the carnivalesque, together with the groundbreaking HBO television series The Leftovers, for insights into how teachers can better address traumas that young people experience and may struggle to overcome.
