Rehearsing alternative outcomes of discarding through imagery rescripting shows promise as a treatment strategy for people who hoard, a study by UNSW psychology researchers has shown.
People who hoard form intense emotional attachments to objects, accumulate excessive clutter, and have difficulty discarding possessions.
Hoarding disorder affects 2.5 per cent of the working-age population.
Anecdotal evidence suggests people who hoard may have greater creative tendencies.
The study's ultra-brief online delivery also has potential as a part of treatment in rural and remote areas.
Hoarding disorder has been linked to early trauma, life stress and emotional deprivation.
