What's causing all the clutter - part 4

My fourth new de-clutter client this week knew exactly why she held on to all her 'stuff' - and that of all her four children too!  When she was little, her ultra-tidy Mother sometimes 'tidied' her room when she was at school.  But that didn't mean she put the things away, she literally removed them - forever.  She gave the treasured things away!  Unbelievable.  So now, my client just can't remove anything. She keeps it all, whether it's useful or not. 

However, inspired by some of the new "Hoarding" programs on the TV, she has decided to try and sort the mess she has created.  Broken items are going, and anything genuinely no longer wanted or needed, to create proper storage space for the remaining items. It will be a gradual process, and sorting through her own bedroom with me has inspired her to keep going with the rest of the house.
