In this class we will explore the role that complicated grief can play in chronic
disorganization and/or hoarding behavior. We will discuss ways to assess if grief is a major
factor in your client’s disorganization and, if so, learn ways to approach the sorting and
discarding practice in a trauma-informed compassionate manner, while observing the
meaning that objects may hold for those who have suffered a loss. Finally, we will consider
how the process of helping someone transform their environment can also be an
opportunity to help them move through the tasks of grief.
