[QUOTE=Anne2.0;4189549]What's so special about a hoarding disorder that it needs a specialist?


It is now a separate category in thr DSM now I believe. And I think It woukd be good to have a therapist who had some experience with this, if not someone who specializes. There is hoarding , and then behavior that has all the characteristics of hoarding, but different reasons for it beginning...

I found a personal organizer online- there is a professional orgazization for organizers who specialize in hoarding and chronic disorganization and ADHD. She has worked with me for about a total of 6 days over the ladt year. i have made major progress. It wasn't till I shared this experience with my therapist that i felt she took notice.
