    Eating the Elephant 7 week Program

    For people residing in a very cluttered environment, it can feel like the elephant in the room.

    This 6-7 week consumer program provides a combination approach of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to help participants understand, not only their hoarding behaviours but also how to emotionally regulate so the work of decluttering can start.

    It also helps participants who may have a lived experience of trauma to understand the link between living in clutter and the trauma they have experienced.

    IOR is currently partnerships with other organisations that can assist in providing training space/conference rooms, printing workbooks and provision of morning tea. Please contact us to discuss in detail
