It’s almost like it’s that tradition is their way of letting someone get close to them.
Ever wondered why we hold on to things we don’t need? In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', host Paul Gilmartin sits down with decluttering expert Tracy McCubbin to unpack the emotional ties we have to our possessions. Tracy opens up about her childhood experiences growing up with a hoarder and how it shaped her career in helping others let go of their 'stuff'.
The conversation dives deep into the psychology behind materialism, the allure of cheap consumer goods, and the compulsive shopping habits that many struggle with. Tracy and Paul explore how clutter can be a way to avoid dealing with deeper emotional issues and how letting go can be a powerful form of therapy. They even touch on some surprising connections between trauma and our sexual interests.
Tracy’s insights offer a fresh perspective on why we accumulate things and how we can find freedom in decluttering. This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling overwhelmed by their possessions or curious about the emotional aspects of hoarding and clutter.
