This woman desperately needs to feel wanted and like she matters beyond what she can do for others.

Daisy grew up bouncing between an orphanage and foster homes, purposefully not being allowed to make connections in order to protect her from discovery. She didn't learn this until she was an adult, so years of feeling unwanted and sure that there must be something wrong with her have left lasting scars.

She needs to address her extremely conflicted feelings over her mother's death (and her mom attempting to murder her), which will be made even more complicated after covering the events of s7.

After a lifetime of searching, Daisy finally found her mother when she was 26 years old. Unfortunately, this Jiaying had been hardened by the actions of Hydra that tore their family apart, and the two ended up on opposite sides of a war for the lives of millions of innocent humans. Her father, Cal, stops Jiaying from killing Daisy by killing his wife himself.

In s7, after Daisy has met the cluster, she encounters a version of Jiaying from the past who is still capable of love and compassion for others. When she learns that Daisy is her daughter from the future, Jiaying tries to protect Daisy from the man who tortured her and stole her powers for himself, but she is killed in the process.

She needs help processing her grief over losing Coulson.

Phil Coulson was the first person to believe in her. Over the last five years, he became the closest thing she's ever had to family, and they have risked their lives for each other countless times. Losing Coulson leaves Daisy feeling more alone and unmoored than she's ever been before.

And please, someone help her overcome the trauma of Fitz's betrayal.

Fitz was one of her best friends, and the first person to be on her side when she went through her Inhuman transition. He was like a little brother to her, at times, so his betrayal hit her hard and there hasn't been anyone to help her through it. Everything happened so fast between what happened and losing Coulson that no one even stopped to ask her if she was okay after he drugged and forced surgical torture upon her.

For context: When they were trapped in the alternate reality of the Framework, Fitz's alter ego was The Doctor, the diabolical right hand of the head of Hydra. The trauma of this event combined with the brain damage he sustained a few years prior prompted this horrific event.
