Dr. Judith Rabinor is the author, most recently, of the powerful memoir "The Girl in the Red Boots: Making Peace with My Mother." As a psychotherapist practicing in New York City, Dr. Rabinor has made mother/daughter relationships one of her specialties -- but she still faced big challenges in coming to terms with the complex legacy of her own Mom. In this timely excerpt from our forthcoming full interview, Dr. Rabinor talks about coming to terms with her mother's refusal to acknowledge negative feelings of any kind -- an emotional armor that felt almost impenetrable at times. #mothersday #motherlove #motherstruggles #mothersanddaughters #psychotherapy #psychoanalysis #thetalkingcure #newyorkcity #NYCtherapists
