The Tamsen Show · The Hidden Reason You Keep Choosing Emotionally Unavailable People · 30 Jul 2026 podcast

It doesn't have to be the biological mother, but it needs to be a primary attachment figure who's spending most of the time with this child in order for secure attachment to happen.

So even though we're saying mother hunger, I like to think of mother in terms of those three things.

When we need a mother, we need nurturing.

When we need a mother, we need protection.

And we need guidance.

I love that you said whatever kind of loss it is.

Because a lot of mother hunger is ambiguous loss.

Meaning, unless she died,

If she's physically there but emotionally not there, we're going to feel the loss but not know what it is or why.

So a lot of mother hunger is very ambiguous.

And for this reason, and because it's taboo to talk about our mothers in any authentic kind of way,

I think the essence of mother hunger is twofold.

One is frozen grief.

The grief for not having access to her in the way we need her, whether she's alive or gone, freezes in our body.

because it's disenfranchised.

Where do we go to talk about it?

There's not a support group.

If we find out we have cancer, we know we need support in order to go through the healing process of what's going to be involved, the treatments and the visits to doctors.

There's a roadmap for grief, so the grief doesn't get frozen.

It can flow.
