Mother Hunger with Kelly McDaniel

Описание: I am so moved and honored to welcome Kelly McDaniel LPC, NCC to the podcast to discuss her book Mother Hunger, a personal life-changer that I frequently recommend to my clients. During this powerful conversation, we explore the term “Mother Hunger” and its various impacts on daughters with mothers who weren’t able to tend to them in nurturing and supportive ways.

We also discuss:
The importance of using non-pathologizing language on experiences that are often so shamed  
Yearning for nurturance, protection, and guidance and how someone might start the healing process
Mother Hunger as an Epigenetic inheritance from our maternal lineage and how it affects a mother-child bond
Implicit Memory and how our bodies carry experiences that elude verbal expression for many
Disorganized attachment and confronting the labels society attaches, such as “bipolar disorder” and “borderline personality disorder”  and how these may reflect deeper, unmet needs.

Whether you’re a mental health professional or someone healing their own Mother Hunger, this conversation will offer insights and connection in a kind and compassionate way.

I left this conversation feeling deeply touched by the depth and topics we navigated through and truly in awe of Kelly’s ability to put words to such a heartbreaking experience that I have not only experienced but I know many of you have as well.
