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 author calls the result of experiencing the trifecta of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse in childhood, “Mother Hunger.” It’s the perfect term for me, as I turned to food early as a replacement for love and a way to nurture myself. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Healing MotherHunger can heal generations of girls, women and moms *by S***H on October 8, 2022* •MotherHUnger is unlike any books I have read on this subject. I had recently taken attended a Parental Wounds Workshop and group and issues related to the importance of healing now as grown woman. this book came at the right time and led me to take Kelly's workshop and training on MotherHunger to lead my own clients in the healing process of the painstaking wounds of early childhood trauma. This was a wonderful experience learning from Kelly McDaniel. I am so excited to bring these materials to my clients and incorporate it into my work. It is essential knowledge for women, especially those who have not experienced the love that a mother is meant to offer through her protection, nurturance and guidance. MotherHunger is the label that gives understanding to the pain and ache that is carried throughout the cells of ones soul. Kelly has a beautiful way of interlocking concepts and heartfelt conversation that provides in depth heart work and head knowledge. As she masterfully, with abandon, weaves together her natural and contagious empathy and righteous anger towards a society and acceptance of parental abuse in forms that have been dismissed as acceptable, and that overlook the vital importance of caring for it's most fragile, our infants. She also demonstrates a powerful mission towards healing generations through connecting the importance of mothers healing their early childhood wounds which scarred them in an effort towards healing the children of tomorrow. I have experienced the generational trauma and have struggled to live into my own potential as a professional, wife, mother, friend, woman and self. This book continues to tug at my heart, teaching me to go back and heal old wounds, give myself compassion and attention, protection and find the guidance that I need. I am so excited to take this into my work and help the women and men that come to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing this book! ## Frequently Bought Together - Mother Hunger: How Adult Daughters Can Understand and Heal from Lost Nurturance, Protection, and Guidance - Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents - The Emotionally Absent Mother, Second Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/240323815-mother-hunger-how-adult-daughters-can-understand-and-heal-from](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/240323815-mother-hunger-how-adult-daughters-can-understand-and-heal-from) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
