Everyone has a story. Clutter is never about the stuff and for me, hearing someone’s story is the best part of my job. I decided that the next few posts would be from viewpoints other than mine. Today’s post is from a client who, for the time bei...

Interview with Stopping Overshopping Expert, Dr. April Benson

Last week I revealed that one of my favorite things about working with hoarders and the chronically disorganized was hearing their stories.

Recently, I asked questions of some very well-respected experts in their particular fields of study and today’s post is from one of those interviews with Dr. April Benson.

Note that Dr. Benson works with compulsive shoppers not hoarder… Continue

Here are my ques… Continue

Below, I’ve posted a few questions that I typically ask during an initial telephone screening and/or ref… Continue

Help, I’m Married to a Hoarder

I have a family member who I think might be a hoarder; what do I do?

Since the airing of the A&E Documentary “Hoarding,” this is by far the most common question I have received. Many times hoarders are unable to recognize that there is cause for concern about their behavior. Are you concerned that your spouse, partner or a family member may have a problem with hoarding?

Addressing the Problem of Hoarding

As is the case with many other mental health and psychological problems… Continue
