Do you have clients who feel trapped in cycles of harmful behaviors and are unable to stop?
Clients who struggle with an insatiable need for sex and love, periods of overeating or starving, and painful, unstable relationships?
I’ve seen these traits over and over in clients. As I searched for answers I discovered a common thread – so many had a deep yearning for a mother’s love, attention, and care that was not met during childhood.
Hiding in secrecy and shame, this unnamed problem left clients a lifetime legacy of insecure attachment, trauma, addiction, anxiety and so much more.
It led me to write my best-selling book Mother Hunger: How Adult Daughters Can Understand and Heal from Lost Nurturance, Protection and Guidance to help people name what they’re missing and begin to heal.
And now for the first time ever, you can join me for a complete training, as I tackle this complex problem and give you the clinical tools and solutions you’ve been looking for…
…so you can help your clients break free from harmful cycles and emptiness resulting from unmet maternal needs.
When you join me, I’ll share a healing path with powerful therapeutic interventions so you can:
So many of your peers who have trained with me say this material is “this is the missing piece” in both their treatment approach and personal healing.

Kelly McDaniel, LPC, NCC, CSAT, is a licensed professional counselor, best-selling author, and psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience.
In her first book Ready to Heal (2008) she named an attachment injury as “Mother Hunger” and started a movement. Women resonated with the concept and wanted treatment. Since then, she’s devoted herself to nurturing insecure attachment and maternal deprivation in adult women.
In her second groundbreaking book Mother Hunger: How Adult Daughters Can Understand and Heal from Lost Nurturance, Protection, and Guidance, McDaniel draws on her extensive clinical experience to explore the impact of Mother Hunger on adult relationships, including attachment trauma and its effects on intimacy, self-esteem, and emotional regulation. Her book has been praised by mental health professionals and readers alike for its compassionate approach, practical insights, and groundbreaking research.
McDaniel is a sought-after speaker and workshop facilitator. She has presented on topics related to attachment theory, trauma healing, and relationship dynamics at conferences and events throughout the United States and internationally.
