Episode 14: Junkin' It Up w/ Junk U - Helping the Hoarder (Special Guest: Annie Amoon Richard)

On today’s episode we have on special guest Annie Amoon Richard, who is a professional organizer and owner and founder of the professional organizing company Unstufficated. Annie has a decorated career in professional organizing with a specialization in Hoarder Disorders. She has a number of awards, designations, and has even been featured on multiple episodes of A&E’s feature TV show, “Hoarders”.As explained by Annie, hoarding disorders (HD) go deeper than just having an excess of ’stuff’. It is an actual mental disorder where, usually due to a traumatic event, an individual has a compulsion to acquire items and/or a distress associated with discarding said items. Her view of helping hoarding conditions is not to simply ‘get rid of the clutter’. The hoard is simply the visible symptom, and getting rid of the items can actually exacerbate the problem. Annie explains her process in how she genuinely aids to build trust with the individual and empower them to be able to make the decisions on what items they can let go of. Annie services the greater Philadelphia area.
