You don't have to live with clutter.

Living with hoarding disorder can be frustrating, both for the sufferer, and for family and friends. The clutter may prevent you from using your furniture, tables, or rooms. You may lose important items, feel overwhelmed by the chaos, and feel embarrassed about having others in your home. If you part with belongings, you may feel wasteful, guilty, or sad; and even deciding which belongings to part with or where to begin can be a struggle. You may acquire more objects than you need or can afford. You may find that the problem is leading to conflict between you and others.

The CBT for Hoarding Disorder program has been shown to be helpful for those who save excessively and have difficulty discarding items. This Client Workbook is designed for people who are participating in group cognitive-behavioral therapy for hoarding disorder. This scientifically-supported program was created by psychologists experienced in the study and treatment of hoarding.

The program will help you work on the many factors that contribute to ongoing difficulties with clutter. You will learn how to make quicker, more efficient decisions that are less stressful and draining. You will learn how to boost your motivation for decluttering and maintain it in the long run. The program also addresses many of the barriers to successful decluttering, such as time management, organizational skills, and problem-solving. Over time you should feel more comfortable making decisions about whether to keep or discard your possessions, and should see visible progress in decluttering your home!
