While everyone sometimes has problems letting go of things, or getting organized, with some people this problem becomes crippling. Even when they have let friends come in and help them clean, they have certain deeply ingrained beliefs, emotions, and patterns of thought that soon push them right back into the same place. Until those emotional patterns are broken, they will keep repeating the same pattern over and over again. Any house they move into will become more and more cluttered. The urge to surround oneself with things, to accumulate or acquire more collections, is going to win unless the underlying reasons WHY these urges exist are addressed and fixed. If your mess helps you deal with feeling depressed, deprived, and anxious, you will NEED your mess and clutter until you no longer feel that way!
EFT (emotional freedom technique- I think it's misnamed and should be intensity freedom technique) is a powerful tool that looks silly but works miracles. You tap on a series of acupressure points while repeating certain phrases with emotional charge, and after you go through all of the points... the emotional intensity vanishes.
Imagine things that you are currently intense about, for instance, feeling guilty about throwing away magazines, vanishing. All the sudden, getting rid of the newspapers doesn't seem so scary anymore!
Clutterbugs, squalor survivors, and messies tend to have the same basic patterns that hold them in their unhappy positions. I can't wait to share what I know about fixing these problems once and for all, with no pain and little discomfort!
