Trauma counsellor Kelly McDaniel is dedicated to helping women break free from the cycle of destructive behaviour that often stems from childhood trauma. She understands that this trauma can have a lasting impact on individuals, leading to feelings of loneliness, overeating, unstable moods, and painful relationships. Kelly's approach is unique in that she takes a hard look at these issues and helps clients understand the root causes of their behaviour.

One of the key aspects of Kelly's work is her focus on destigmatizing the shame that often accompanies being under-mothered or misdiagnosed. She recognises that many women struggle with feelings of not being loved or nurtured enough, and this can lead to harmful behaviours such as overeating or starving. Mother Hunger is a powerful book that offers a healing path for women who are struggling with these issues.

Through a combination of breathing exercises, visualization, Reiki, and other healing modalities, Kelly helps clients reclaim nurturance and protection. She also provides guidance and inspiration by creating a celestial mother figure, which can serve as a source of guidance and support. By working with this celestial mother, clients can break the intergenerational cycle of Mother Hunger and find a way towards healthy habits and a positive headspace.

One of the most powerful aspects of Mother Hunger is its ability to demystify the causes of harmful behaviours. Kelly explains that trauma can have a profound impact on individuals, and that it can lead to a cycle of self-destruction. By understanding the root causes of these behaviours, clients can break free from limiting beliefs and find a way towards healthy habits and a positive headspace.

The book also provides practical tips and strategies for breaking free from harmful behaviours. Kelly offers a step-by-step guide to creating healthy habits, such as eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and practicing self-care. She also provides advice on how to deal with difficult emotions and relationships, and how to set boundaries in order to protect oneself from harm.

Overall, Mother Hunger is a powerful and transformative book that offers hope and healing to women who are struggling with harmful behaviours. Kelly McDaniel's approach is unique and effective, and her dedication to helping women break free from the cycle of trauma is truly inspiring. If you are struggling with these issues, I highly recommend reading this book and working with a trauma counsellor or psychotherapist to explore your healing journey.
