About this episode
Amanda, Glennon and Abby explore how to survive the lifelong, universal pain of being left out:
What Abby felt when she heard “We don’t want you here” – and its long-lasting impact;
Why it is so painful, and how to process feelings of rejection and isolation;
How dissociation helped Glennon cope with rejection in the cafeteria;
What parents should and *should not* do when helping kids navigate exclusion; and
The real difference between “fitting in” and “belonging.”
