Description
Overcoming Hoarding: A Self-Help Guide Using Cognitive Behavioural Techniques Hoarding is a common condition that affects many people, causing clutter and distress in their homes. It's estimated to affect 2-5% of the population, with far-reaching consequences for individuals, families, and communities. The exact reasons behind hoarding behaviour are complex and varied, but it can be triggered by emotional trauma, attachment to certain objects, or a learned response to growing up in a cluttered environment. Hoarding is often misunderstood, but it's essential to address the issue to prevent health and safety risks, as well as improve overall well-being. This book provides a comprehensive guide using cognitive behavioural techniques to help individuals overcome hoarding and reclaim their space and life. With its practical tools and strategies, it fills an important gap in the literature on hoarding disorder, offering hope for those struggling with this condition.
