Karin E. Fried of Organizational Consulting Services works with people that have Hoarding Issues

PORTLAND, Ore. - Jan. 25, 2024 - PRLog -- Karin E. Fried of Organizational Consulting Services has been providing "virtual" work groups and seminars for people with Chronic Disorganization and Hoarding issues for over 7 years. As hoarding has become more prevalent people are searching for answers on how to curb their clutter.  They are finally reaching out for help.

Fried's "virtual" classes have reached people around the world - with people from Australia, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Toronto, British Columbia, Montreal, London, Scotland and USA attending.

The 16-week "Buried in Treasures" work group addresses hoarding behavior. It is not just about clutter. The group is a way for people with chronic disorganization and hoarding behavior to learn new skills, overcome challenges and reduce acquiring. The work group is based on the book written by Drs. Tolin, Frost and Steketee – the leading experts on hoarding in the country.

Hoarding is a complex and isolating condition. It is often misunderstood and not often talked about. Hoarding issues are not only relegated to poor uneducated people but to people from all walks of life. The group brings together people who thought that they were "alone" with their issues.

By offering a "virtual" group (Zoom) – anyone can attend and learn skills that can change their life. The class offers people with hoarding issues the opportunity to connect with other people that have similar issues so that they can support each other.

Each week there is a discussion around a skill, followed by the completion of exercises. There are tips on decluttering and how to stop over-acquiring. Individual progress, challenges, successes and goals are monitored through the program.

If you are overwhelmed with too many possessions and are ready to make a change – this group can help you get there.

For those people that cannot commit to a 16-week work group – there is a new 8-week condensed version of the group called "Getting Unburied and Moving Forward".  Groups are started at various times throughout the year.

Karin E. Fried of Organizational Consulting Services has earned her advanced Level II: Hoarding Specialist Certificate from the Institute for Challenging Disorganization (ICD).
