Mission Statement
The Mission of Behind the Hoard Consulting is to provide you with support and guidance as you make meaningful change in your life and with respect to your belongings.
Are you a Hoarder?
- Excessive accumulation and failure to discard (proportionately) things or animals.
- Activities of daily living are impaired by spaces, which cannot be used for their intended use.
- Distress or impairment in functioning is caused to the hoarder and/or others
Are you a Clutterer?
- Even though spaces may have excessive accumulation, clutterers can throw things away more easily and with much less distress.
- The clutter does not debilitate your life to the same degree
Here are three red flags:
Areas of your home can't be used for intended purpose, without shifting things around.
You can't walk through each of the rooms of your home without stepping over things to do it.
You can't find things when you want them.
