Decluttering and Trauma – Why Letting Go Feels Impossible (and How It Can Help You Heal) #156

You’ve tried to declutter before. You know what to do. But the moment you start... you freeze. Sound familiar? You’re not lazy. You’re not messy. You’re protecting yourself. In this episode, I’m digging into why clutter can feel impossible to let go of — especially if you’ve experienced trauma. Because it’s not just about mess. It’s about memory. It’s about survival. What if your clutter was never the real problem? And what if tidying could actually help you feel safe again — not just organized? I’ll walk you through the real, emotional blocks behind clutter and why so many people feel stuck in their organizing journey. You’ll learn how the KonMari Method can support deep healing — gently, intentionally, and at your pace. This episode is packed with insight, compassion, and fresh declutter strategies that go far beyond the surface. If home organization has ever left you in tears or feeling like a failure, this is your sign to listen. Because this isn’t about perfection. It’s about peace. Ready to see your home — and your healing — in a whole new way? Tune in now. Thanks for listening!
