Making Space for What Matters

People with hoarding problems often feel imprisoned by their circumstances. In this book, Krafft, Ong, Levin, and Twohig describe a program that unlocks that prison. The key lies in understanding the meaning of possessions and their connection to life values. By guiding you to articulate these values and evaluate possessions in light of them, this program will help with decluttering and make your life more satisfying and fulfilled.

Smart, sincere, and seriously helpful, this book offers a fresh, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)-based approach for people stuck in clutter and hoarding struggles. The authors—brilliant and big-hearted—translate solid science into real-world wisdom with clarity and compassion. If you’re looking for a values-driven way forward that honors the messiness of being human, this book delivers.

The authors thoughtfully turn their years of valuable research and clinical experience into a friendly and digestible guide. Open this book. You’ll find a compassionate and wise friend who gets you and is committed to walk alongside you, step by step, through the sometimes overwhelming and lonely journey of healing. I am really glad this book has been brought to the world!
