A guide to help women heal from 'Mother Hunger', an attachment wound formed in infancy and early childhood that interferes with bonding.
Trauma counsellor Kelly McDaniel helps women break the cycle of destructive behaviour by taking a hard look at childhood trauma and its lasting impact.
An insatiable need for love. Periods of overeating or starving. A pattern of unstable and painful relationships. Trauma counsellor Kelly McDaniel has seen these traits over and over in clients who are hurting themselves with cycles of harmful behaviours-and are unable to stop.
Many of us find ourselves stuck in unhealthy habits simply because we don't see a better way out. In Mother Hunger, Kelly destigmatizes the shame that comes with being under-mothered and offers a path to healing, with powerful tools including therapeutic interventions and lifestyle changes to help establish boundaries and have healthy relationships.
The constant search for mother love is heart breaking and shame-producing, but it can be largely solved by understanding what we are missing. Mother Hunger demystifies the search for love and provides the compass that each woman needs to end the struggle.
