Click here for info on OCD & Compulsive Hoarding Info There are many excellent books on the subjects of clutter-busting, general organizing, and even ones that address compulsive hoarding. Here are a few suggestions to get you started: "It's All Too Much" by Peter Walsh - Peter Walsh is a regular contributor to the Oprah Winfrey Show and the host of TLC's Clean Sweep. He provides good organizing solutions to tackling clutter in all forms as well as a good dose of humor and simple techniques that you can use to take control of the clutter in your life. "Overcoming Compulsive Hoarding" by Neziroglu, Bubrick, Yaryura-Tobias - This book provides an up-to-date account of what we know of the psychology of compulsive hoarding together with exercises designed to deal with the problem. "Buried in Treasures" by Tolin, Frost, Steketee - This book is part workbook and focuses on helping individuals who compulsively acquire, save or hoard possessions.
In our previous experiences dealing with clients who have difficulties 'letting go' of their clutter, we have found that sometimes it helps to speak with a professional therapist at the same time as you are enlisting the help of 25th Hour Organizing. A therapist can often offer support or insight into the reasons why the clutter is happening and assist an individual in learning to 'let go' of the items that are impeding them from living a less cluttered life. Disclaimer: The list below does not include every resource and should only be used as a guide to beginning to find the help that you or your loved one may need. 25th Hour Organizing is not advising you to choose specifically from the list below, but instead to use it as a starting off point in finding a professional who can best address your individual needs.
