Throughout his life he considered himself a collector and archivist, but as time went on he found that he was holding on to more and more objects, specifically those with sad memories attached.Soon his house was filled with World Trade Center memorabilia, Newspaper clippings from The Challenger Disaster and letters he'd failed to send to loved ones who passed away.Lee eventually sought the help he needed and went on to develop The Buried in Treasures Workshop Facilitator's Guide with Dr. Randy Frost, and co-authored WRAP® for Reducing Clutter with Dr. Mary Ellen Copeland.He's delivered his message about hoarding behaviors on CBS Sunday Morning, Scientific American, and The Chicago Tribune. As well as partnered with Stanford University, Columbia University, Smith College, and UCSF. Today he works with those who struggle with their relationship with things and tries to get people to stop using the word hoarder.Episode ResourcesMutual Support Consulting | mutual-support.comBuried in Treasures Book | Buried-Treasures-Compulsive-Acquiring-TreatmentsThe Clutter Movement | facebook.com/groups/TheClutterMovementIndividualSupportThe Copeland Center | copelandcenter.comConnect with LeeMutual Support Consulting | mutual-support.comConnect with The Courage to ChangePodcast Website | lionrock.life/couragetochangepodcastPodcast Instagram | @couragetochange_podcastYouTube | The Courage to Change PodcastTikTok | @ashleyloebblassingamePodcast Email | podcast@lionrock.lifePodcast Facebook | @thecouragetochangepodcastLionrock ResourcesLionrock Life Mobile App | lionrock.life/mobile-appSupport Group Meeting Schedule | lionrock.life/meetings
