Episode notes

A discussion on the difficulties of watching their children navigate experiences that bring up their own trauma, and the balance between protection and allowing emotional growth.

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.”
