Absolutely yes, there is hope for anyone experiencing disorganization. There may not be the 60 minute miracle you see on several popular television programs, but it is possible to change the situation.
The A & E channel is now showing a series of programs on hoarding, an extreme area of disorganization. It can also be downloaded from their web site. One of the more important aspects of these programs is the hopelessness that the clients display. With years of accumulation of all kinds of things and refusal to deal with their situation, most have been threatened with eviction from their homes.
Just as it took many years for their environments to become inhabitable, it will take time for emotional and mental attitudes about their "things" to be resolved and their homes to be changed into safe, clean and pleasant places to live. Their willingness to work with a team of specialists including therapists and professional organizers will make the journey more successful.
Most of us have never experienced disorganization to this extreme, but we all need to be aware that over time any situation can deteriorate if we are not diligent to maintain a satisfactory level of organization in our homes. Professional organizers can help with strategies and solutions that will make that process easier and more successful.
