DOWNSIZING AND LETTING GO. Saving, Collecting, Accumulation, Hoarding, Clutter ... these are terms that get used a lot these days and mean different things to different people. This talk will focus on exploring our attachments to our possessions, downsizing, and strategies that may help or hurt. The presentation will break through stigma and help participants understand what drives most of us when it comes to acquiring and saving items. Why do we save? What meanings do our possessions carry? Once we start to understand an individual's (or our own) unique attachment to possessions, we can work on effective strategies for letting go. Presenter: Jill Williams, MA. Clinical Services Specialist, Multnomah County's Older Adult Behavioral Health Team.
