Sunday, 29th November – Hoarding Disorder: From Control to Clutter | Online | Free | 12:00 Noon

Why can it feel so difficult for some people to let go of possessions, even when clutter begins to interfere with everyday life? Hoarding is often misunderstood as simply being untidy, but the psychological experiences behind it can be much more complex.

This workshop explores Hoarding Disorder, including the emotional attachment to possessions, difficulty discarding items, fear of losing something important, and the distress associated with letting go. Participants will learn about the psychological factors that may contribute to hoarding, challenge common misconceptions, and understand the importance of approaching individuals with empathy rather than judgement. The session will also discuss how professional support can help individuals and families navigate these challenges.
