Exploring the Impact of Being Left Out and Coping Mechanisms

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.”
