In this first episode of Mending Moms, we talk candidly about the mother wound with the talented Emely Rumble, LCSW, author of Biblotherapy in the Bronx! 

 "...our mothers are our first mirrors, and how our mothers and our relationships to our mothers, and what they reflect back to us.
It's the first place where we begin to develop our self-perception. And what I want people who are listening to this podcast to know is that some of our mothers were broken mirrors. And what they reflected back to us that maybe we internalized as our self-perception was untrue. So by acknowledging that we can have an entry point to healing, you're not broken. You're not broken. And if your mother wasn't able to give you the things that you needed, it wasn't necessarily because she didn't love you..." -Emely Rumble, LCSW
