GROUP HOARDING DISORDER SESSIONS

BASED IN THE EASTERN SUBURBS OF MELBOURNE – Date Coming Soon.

Hoarding is a more complex issue than often assumed. Many people who have difficulty discarding items feel that people do not understand their attachment to objects. Group therapy for hoarding can be appealing as it gives people an opportunity to meet others facing similar challenges.
Catherine Madigan is a clinical psychologist who offers a 10-session group program for hoarding disorders specifically.
Attendees are required to do at least one individual session before joining a hoarding disorder workshop. This is in order to be assessed and to establish whether a hoarding workshop is the right choice for treatment. This individual session can be bulk billed for low-income healthcare card holders and can be also offered via telehealth.

Decluttering Your Home?, Catherine can help.

Catherine is caring and non-judgemental. She has helped many people restore order to their homes.
Catherine understands that people enjoy acquiring items and may have great difficulty discarding or rehoming them because they have sentimental value, are very attractive, etc.
There are many reasons why people have obtained too many items: gifts, inheriting deceased estates, collecting items, compulsive shopping and acquiring, There are many reasons why items may be in a mess, e.g. lack of storage, lack of systems, poor health ( e.g. chronic fatigue, back injuries) attention deficit disorder, depression, memory issues, procrastination and perfectionism.
Sometimes, the number of items one has acquired becomes overwhelming, and family members complain. Rooms can no longer be used for their intended purpose, and people can be embarrassed to have people over to the house. This can prevent one from socialising. Sometimes, the neighbours complain, or the council gets involved.
As a clinical psychologist, Catherine understands that disposing of items can be highly stressful, and some people cannot cope with long periods of decluttering. So, depending on the client’s tolerance and budget, a visit could last as little as an hour or as much as a day.
Catherine is willing to take items away to your chosen charity opportunity shop and /or organise skips and hard rubbish collections. Catherine used to be a secondhand dealer, so she has some idea of whether items are collectables, antiques, or art pieces. She can advise you as to what items should be taken to an auction room for an appraisal and/or to be sold. If you want to sell items yourself, she is happy to help you list them or organise a garage sale.
Catherine understands that your possessions are YOUR possessions and your decision about what stays or goes. Catherine does not touch items without your permission and is happy to stand back and let you deal with the items if you wish as she understands it can create anxiety if she moves things around.
Please call 0429883671 to organise an appointment or email.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental disorders in Australia, with 1/7 people (14% of the population) reporting having had an anxiety disorder in the last 12 months. Women are more likely to have an anxiety disorder than men, 18% vs 11%. ABS National Survey of Mental Health & Wellbeing, Summary of Results 2007.

Anxiety or fear is a normal response to a present or imagined threat. Mild fear can be helpful as it enables us to respond quickly when faced with a dangerous situation and to be alert in difficult situations (e.g. exams). However, excessive fear may lead to people being paralysed e.g. soldiers under attack may be so afraid they can’t move to take cover, public speakers may find they go blank, forget their lines and are rendered speechless.

Anxiety is a normal emotion as it affects most people and is widespread. You would be abnormal if you didn’t experience fear sometimes. However, if your anxiety is out of proportion to the situation you are experiencing and/or persists in the absence of threat, e.g you worry about events months ahead or are experiencing anxiety long after the danger has passed, you may need professional help.

Some people are more prone to experiencing anxiety than others and it is not caused by just one thing but by a combination of factors including: genetics, family environment and traumatic life experiences. Sufferers may have unhelpful thinking patterns such as perfectionist standards. Nevertheless, you can learn to manage your anxiety more effectively.
