Mother Hunger: Healing Lost Nurturing, Protection, and Guidance for Adult Daughters

Trauma counselor Kelly McDaniel has repeatedly observed certain traits in clients who feel trapped in cycles of harmful behaviors and are unable to stop. These include an insatiable need for sex and love, periods of overeating or starving, and a pattern of unstable and painful relationships.

Many of us find ourselves stuck in unhealthy habits simply because we don't see a better way. With her book "Mother Hunger," McDaniel aims to help women break the cycle of destructive behavior by taking a fresh look at childhood trauma and its lasting impact. In doing so, she destigmatizes the shame that comes with being under-mothered and misdiagnosed.

McDaniel offers a healing path with powerful tools that include therapeutic interventions and lifestyle changes in service to healthy relationships. The constant search for mother love can be a lifelong emotional burden, but healing begins with knowing and naming what we are missing.

McDaniel is the first clinician to identify "Mother Hunger," which demystifies the search for love and provides the compass that each woman needs to end the struggle with achy, lonely emptiness, and come home to herself.
