According to Frost and Steketee’s Stuff:
Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things,
Hoarders need to convince themselves of 3 things
in order to let go of stuff:
1) to know that the item won’t be
wasted
2) to know that it goes to a good
home
3) to know that the opportunity the item promised
is over
Now which of those do we have any real control
over?
No wonder we keep so much stuff!
It takes so much energy to make the decision to
get rid
of something when we feel such responsibility toward
it.
But with practice it can happen.
