We Can Do Hard Things

241. Being Left Out: Navigating that Lifelong Ache

Listen Later

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.”
