Mother Hunger
Author: Kelly McDaniel
Format: Paperback
How Adult Daughters Can Understand and Heal from Lost Nurturance, Protection and Guidance
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 endless ache to love and be loved. Periods of overeating or starving. A pattern of unstable moods and painful relationships. Sound familiar? Trauma psychotherapist Kelly McDaniel has seen these traits over and over in clients who feel trapped in cycles of harmful behaviours - and are unable to stop.
Mother Hunger destigmatizes the shame that comes with being under-mothered and misdiagnosed, and offers a healing path. You'll find out how to:
· reclaim nurturance and protection using breathing exercises, visualization, Reiki and other healing modalities
· find guidance and inspiration by creating a celestial mother
· finally break the intergenerational cycle of Mother Hunger
Discover how to demystify the causes of harmful behaviours, free yourself from limiting beliefs and find a way towards healthy habits and a positive headspace.
'I honestly cannot remember a time I have resonated with anything as much as I do Mother Hunger, if this book has presented itself to you - trust it!' Nancy Levin, author of Setting Boundaries Will Set You Free
