Believing anyone genuinely loves them is really difficult for kids who think No One REALLY Loves Them. This final like in the Fighting The Lies series is rooted in their distorted understanding of love. Behaviors that present when this lie is prevalent include self sabotage, combative behavior and trying to find acceptance at almost any cost.

To combat this lie, kids need to be reminded they are loved and we will discuss the value of intentional words, the child feeling they belong, revisiting memories, and inside jokes.

The lie we are fighting with this episode is Everyone Will Reject Me. Rooted in a past experience when an adult this child cared for, the lie has existed for a legitimate reason. These children who worry about adults leaving or reject them places these kids in almost a constant state of anxiety and fear. This leads to behaviors such as people pleasing adults in their lives except their most bonded relationship. With their most connected adult, they often push them away and explode as their fears bubble to the surface.

This episode is all about the lie No One Cares About Me which is based in an experience from their childhood where they felt that an adult they trusted did not pay adequate attention due to them not being important. Kids who typically struggle with this lie, often are hungry for affirmation and are rarely satisfied by any quantity of time with the adults they worry care about them. This can make raising them difficult, especially alongside other children.
