Do you sometimes feel as if you're just going through the motions in life? Are you good at looking and acting as if you're fine, but secretly feel lonely and disconnected? If so, you are not alone. The world is full of people who have an innate sense that something is wrong with them - who feel they live on the outside looking in, but have no explanation for this feeling and no way to put it into words.

The causes of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder range from severe neglect to monstrous abuse. Many survivors grew up in houses that were not homes-in families that were as loveless as orphanages and sometimes as dangerous. If you felt unwanted, unliked, rejected, hated, and/or despised for a lengthy portion of your childhood, trauma may be deeply engrained in your mind, soul, and body. This book is a practical guide to recovering from lingering childhood trauma. It is copiously illustrated with examples of the author's and his clients' journeys of recovering.

Narcissism is a belief that the world revolves around us, and that what happens in the world happens because of us. Most of us live with a form of narcissism so common and so deeply embedded that we don't even know we have it. This "everyday narcissism" (EN) comes from childhood wounds and powerful myths we were taught as children. Everyday Narcissism helps listeners understand EN and teaches them how to heal it. It also helps listeners learn to recognize EN in others and respond in healthy ways.

Trauma counselor Kelly McDaniel has seen these traits over and over in clients who feel trapped in cycles of harmful behaviors - and are unable to stop. Many of us find ourselves stuck in unhealthy habits simply because we don't see a better way. With Mother Hunger, McDaniel helps women break the cycle of destructive behavior by taking a fresh look at childhood trauma and its lasting impact.

Knowledge is power
I’ve been miserable and stuck feeling defective my entire 38 years of life and to actually know *why* has been life changing. If I didn’t find these books, my life would continue to be meaningless and I’d never stop being depressed. This book and her other one are SO important. I recommend a trauma therapist if you’ve never had anyone sane validate you. But there is hope if you want to actually live for yourself finally. I just really still can’t believe the mark CEN leaves on a person..damn.

This book helped me understand my CEN Childhood Emotional Neglection and begin the healing process. Emotions that are not transformed are transferred. I want to pass my child a better foundation of BOUNDARIES and understanding or EQ or Emotional Intelligence so we can become a better family and her future is brighter. This book is a must read.

All in one
After reading Dr. Jonice Webb’s, “Running On Empty” it was necessary for me to continue my healing with the skills I learned in, “Running On Empty No More.” Important and deeply necessary, without Dr. Webb, I would still be hurting. God bless her amazing insightfulness to help others after seeing patterns in her sessions to coin and write on, “CEN,” “Childhood Emotional Neglect.” I hope to thank her in person some day, maybe at a book signing.

Excellent Opportunity For Change
This book tops the previous book. Taking into account that I have read some of the best resources in regards to overcoming a traumatic childhood and life including material by Pete Gerlach and cnvc, this book presents methods and conversations in a practical and empathetic way to begin the road to healing. It also ties those resources together and also completes the picture...of a family. I now have the distinct ability to recognize and organize the massive amount of parts of what is seemingly so simple and undetectable even in a family with no CEN. I would previously just say “well that family doesn’t do that; that is, yell at, berate or physically abuse their children”. I’d say that and not know what it was they did do. This book completes that picture. I look to heal my 25 year relationship with my borderline husband keeping watch on my own words & behavior when he falls short of accessing his feeling words and turns to thought words and conclusive false perceptions instead. I would say this book is the definitive place to start.

By the time I finished this book I was in tears.
This book truly allows you to see your childhood in a different light and how it reflects in all of your relationships. Whether or not you have children does not matter, you still learn so much from it. The emotional realization you gain is something you cannot replace. Credit to the author for the first book and this great follow up. She explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand for everyone with great examples to paint a vivid picture in your mind. Be prepared to take a trip down both good and bad memories of your life, but in the end find a path to healing all of the wounds you may or may not know you had. Completely worth it!
