We had stack of things on a chair in our dining room. Most of it was DHs and he finally went through it - mostly (like 99%) things to toss (why why did they have to age indoors?) - at the bottom of the pile were some things that made it clear this had been cluttering our dining room for at least 5 years. sigh. but yeah!

Hi everyone - I'm not sure I've been on the thread at all but thought I would pop in. This recent post from fellow psychologist Dr. Rick Hanson has helped me think more about letting go of things:
https://www.rickhanson.net/enjoy-freedom-not-to/ I'm good at getting rid of overall clutter, but sometimes I hold onto things I don't really need to for pretty weak reasons - or maybe even for good reasons, but I don't need to do that, either.

thanks Beth for that link,
just finished listening to this audio book via the free app and free rental of The Hoarder in You by psychologist Robin Zadio, PhD. https://www.amazon.com/Hoarder-You-H.../dp/B005TKGHQW she is also the psychologist on the A&E series "Hoarders." Lots of good advice about how to address the inner decision-making, with lots of examples from her clients.
