Hoarding may be a natural instinct. After all, the last ice age only ended 10,000 years ago (when hoarding food for the deep winters was vital for survival).
But an instinctive need can sometimes turn into an all-consuming ‘greed’ - which is not to judge it harshly, because by greed I mean compulsion.
So how do we know when hoarding has become a problem, and how do we help clients looking to get their life back from compulsive hoarding?
Hoarding disorder has many causes and even more consequences. In this week's video, I share the case of Tony, who was a chronic hoarder. I also give you four tips to help your hoarding clients break free of that fear of letting go.
