Rise Above Your Stuff

By Barbara Jo Dennison and Karen Kruzan

This workbook will be a source of healing for patient; Dr. Dennison and Ms. Kruzan help the reader understand the insidious nature of this problem and offer strategies to help patients affected by hoarding. Hoarding is a biopsychosocial problem which has roots in the neurotransmitters in our brains and then is reinforced by our beliefs, societal structures, and shame in confronting the problem. It is a choice between our "stuff" and our very lives. The authors offer insight and tools to empower patients to choose their lives over the constant subtle messages to have more and more things. People want to "have it all" and sometimes this becomes the choice to "hoard it all" at the expense of their families, health and lives. Thank you for a valuable healing resource.- Sarita Salzberg, MD, MPH Board Certified in Addiction Medicine and Family Medicine MPH Occupational and Environmental Medicine Rise Above Your Stuff offers a wealth of practical and easy to digest information.

This workbook will quickly broaden your world view, sensitivity and engagement strategies when dealing with your chronic disorganization or hoarding.- Kappy Madenwald, LISW-S Madenwald Consulting, LLC
