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.

The book itself is full of really interesting information from the perspective of author and expert on mother daughter issues Kelly.
Unfortunately I was unable to find any link at all to the accompanying pdf she kept referring to in the book and was obviously fundamental to the book as a whole. I have had to buy a paper copy also as the audible title does not give access to the questionnaire or other support material - disappointing! Looked up how to access the pdf info on the audible app (clicking the 3 dots on the book title once brought up in the library) but alas no link was available at all

Really informative and interesting

I enjoyed the book even though the audio wasn’t amazing…certain words especially towards the end of a sentence were edited badly. The book itself it’s really good and it is directed at daughters but I feel that it can apply to sons too.

Good book
