Enough Said



Healing and change
 come not from constant striving, 
but from full release 
of our brokenness 
and complete abandon
 in seeking Him.

Dear Sarah:
The Bill Cunningham Show is working on an episode about the family members of compulsive hoarders to be taped in NYC on Wednesday November 16th. This program will focus on the challenges faced by compulsive hoarders and their families in trying to overcome this mysterious and often misunderstood disorder, as well as the impact of the hoarding on the children/family members who have lived or are living in a cluttered and often chaotic environment.
If you, or someone you know is struggling to overcome compulsive hoarding and you live with a teenager, we would like to hear your story. We understand the sensitivity of the topic, and would discuss options for protecting the identity of the family. We are also looking for adult children of hoarders who we would pay for flights, hotel and meal money and would try and give them help they need.
Please feel free to contact me at the info below and pass on to people you know. Thanks

More about hoarding...from a COH perspective

I've been very fortunate to meet and work with some fantastic people over the last two years, including trips to the Mental Health Association-San Francisco's Hoarding and Cluttering Conference last March , and more recently the International OCD Foundation Annual Conference just last weekend in San Diego. Because of this, I've sat in on many speeches about hoarding, the most recent research, and because I grew up with a hoarder, I am an expert on my mother's hoarding. I realize that the viewpoints on the internet are skewed horribly. It's easy to say really harsh, mean things when one is protected by an alias, avatar, and a computer screen. And yet, since I see so many inaccurate statements made about hoarding, I thought I would share what I've pieced together from the research, my experiences, and my mother's admissions.

Children Learn What They Live, or Why Recovery?

Children Learn What They Live By Dorothy Law Nolte If children live with criticism, They learn to condemn. If children live with hostility, They learn to fight. If children live with ridicule, They learn to be shy. If children live with shame, They learn to feel guilty. If children live with encouragement, They learn confidence. If children live with tolerance, They learn to be patient. If children live with praise, They learn to appreciate. If children live with acceptance, They learn to love. If children live with approval, They learn to like themselves. If children live with honesty, They learn truthfulness. If children live with security, They learn to have faith in themselves and others. If children l...

The FREE PWH Workbook

 It's been years since I've posted here at 1weespark. I didn't disappear, however. I had my head down, studying hard to get my MSW in clinical social work. And writing. Writing in a different way than I had been writing here. Creating content that I needed desperately thirteen years ago when my mother's health started getting iffy. Since January, I've been working on creating content that focuses specifically on what it is like to have a parent who hoards ( PWH ). As a clinical social worker and as someone who grew up amidst my mother's trash and treasures, I wanted to work specifically to create resources for adults like us. This is challenging, to be sure, because although we often have similarities in our stories, it's necessary to remain aware that each family has its own challenges. Anything that I create, it's important to me that it embraces the spectrum of experiences. Similarly, it's important to me to honor your expertise and your insight i...
