Are you or is someone you love one of the millions of Americans who suffer from compulsive hoarding, a serious and often debilitating condition?

Do you:

• Assign a great deal of meaning, importance, and attachment to your possessions – and have trouble differentiating which ones are truly meaningful and which ones you can let go?
• Feel overly anxious about letting go of objects that remind you of happy memories?
• Live in massive amounts of clutter?
• Feel increasingly isolated from friends and family members?
• Find that your are reluctant to establish new relationships?
• Describe yourself as a "pack rat" or "collector"?
• Keep or acquire things because you believe you'll need them or they'll have value in the future?
• Feel guilty, embarrassed, or ashamed about your living conditions?
• Move items in your home from one pile to another?
• Have friends, neighbors, and / or family members who believe your home is a health and / or safety risk (or even threatened to contact local authorities, such as police, fire, public health, or animal welfare agencies)?
• Excessively rescue animals such as dogs, cats, and birds?

Do you also believe that your hoarding compulsions are roadblocks to a healthier and happier life, but also convinced that you will never experience these benefits?

If so, it may be time for a change. And we'd like to help

Because the truth is that hoarding compulsions do not fix themselves

And when the condition goes untreated, symptoms continue and often worsen, which can lead to additional issues, such as depression, stress, anxiety, and addictions. Over time the stress takes its toll on careers and relationships with spouses, family members, and friends.

That's why it's imperative that men and women who are experiencing these symptoms seek counseling.
