    Clutter, CBT and Compassion with Dr Lee David

    Why do you find yourself constantly overwhelmed by clutter despite trying countless organisation systems? Could your cluttered spaces be telling you something deeper about your emotional wellbeing? What if the key to lasting change lies not in better storage solutions, but in understanding the feelings driving your relationship with possessions? 🔗 Read / Listen more: https://declutterhub.com/413 This episode will transform how you think about clutter by exploring the revolutionary concept that clutter is "emotions first, stuff second." Lesley delves into evidence-based strategies from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy that address the root causes rather than just the symptoms of clutter accumulation. Dr Lee David, a GP and CBT therapist, shares groundbreaking insights into how clutter connects to mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and neurodivergence such as ADHD.

    When Summer Throws You off the Decluttering Track

    Does summer throw your decluttering routine completely out of the window? Are you struggling to keep up with your home organisation when the sun's calling you outside? How can you maintain momentum with your decluttering goals without missing out on summer's best moments? 🔗 Read / Listen more: https://declutterhub.com/412 In this refreshingly honest episode, Ingrid and Lesley tackle the reality that summer often derails our best decluttering intentions. They'll share practical strategies to help you maintain progress without sacrificing those precious sunny days. Summer brings unique challenges that can completely disrupt even the most dedicated declutterer's routine. From sweltering heat making loft clearances unbearable to children being home from school, longer evenings spent in the garden, and the constant pull of holidays and outdoor activities. Rather than feeling guilty about your slowing progress, discover why this seasonal shift is completely natural and how to work with it rather than against it. The hosts explore why so many people fall into the "I'll start again in September" trap and how this all-or-nothing mindset can actually set you back. Instead, they advocate for a gentler approach that keeps your home "ticking over" during the busier summer months whilst still allowing you to enjoy the season.
