This training illuminates the dissociative trance that allows addictive behavior to continue despite negative consequences. Our discussion will focus on early attachment trauma that causes a "split self," creating a need for substitute
love objects that can later become addictions. With a focus on women,
McDaniel will discuss Mother Hunger and how it complicates standard
interventions for healing addictive behavior.
Cost: $99

Mother Hunger: Understanding Women and Addiction

McDaniel's ground-breaking descriptor "Mother Hunger" gives name to the
female tragedy leading many women into addictive love and sex. Essentially, addiction is a generational inheritance and a substitute for failed early attachment.
Drugs, alcohol, romance and food become foster parents, a loving mother. Acknowledging the pain that breeds addictive longing can provide compassion
to the resourceful woman who manages to overcome in a world attempting
to disempower her and regulate the "feminine" into society's shadows
