Mother Hunger
An insatiable need for sex and love. Periods of overeating or starving. A pattern of unstable and painful relationships.
Does this sound painfully familiar?
Trauma counselor Kelly McDaniel has seen these traits over and over in clients who feel trapped in cycles of harmful behaviors-and are unable to stop.
Many of us find ourselves stuck in unhealthy habits simply because we don't see a better way. With Mother Hunger, McDaniel helps 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.

Reviews
Although I am sure I will be processing the enlightening words, theories & suggestions of this book for years to come, I feel completely heard and understood for the first time ever in my life. This book takes readers through triggering, emotional concepts in the gentlest of ways, using peer reviewed research and expert guidance to impart compassion, understanding and forgiveness not only for our mothers, but - perhaps more importantly - for ourselves. I am humbled and honored to have found this important book and will gift it to all my mother sisters. It is my fervent hope that this book becomes routinely cited and offered to all young women - how my life might have differed if I had read this book at 20!! Thank you Kelly McDaniel for this gift of great insight and hope.
