Messages are everywhere that the things we own give us value. When people have a history of trauma, depression, anxiety, abuse, or neglect, it makes sense they would feel attached to the things they own, have difficulty parting with their possessions, and accumulate more stuff. While often a hidden and misunderstood behavior, research shows that hoarding is more common than previously believed, affecting between 2 to 6% of people. When the number of things you have becomes unmanageable, it is important to find effective help. Kathy will help us build empathy and understanding for ourselves and others who may be facing this issue.
