Break Free from Hoarding/Clutter

Hoarding and Cluttering are often related but sometimes separate issues. Hoarding is a behavior led by a person's inability to let go of various possessions for fear that he/she will need the item in the future. It leads to the person owning an inordinate and often unmanageable amount of stuff. Cluttering is a person's inability to keep their things organized and often leads to their home being filled with trash and other useless items that the person feels unable to do anything about getting cleaned up or creating any sense of organization.

How Common is Hoarding/Cluttering?

The number of people who hoard and/or clutter is really unknown because most people who deal with these issues feel so much shame about their behavior that they hide it from the world and often refuse to let other people into their home. There is growing evidence that these behaviors are quite common and have recently start to become highlighted on reality TV. My professional experience is that approximately 10% of the clients that have come into my office for unrelated issues also struggle with hoarding and/or cluttering.
