- What happens during a trauma-informed decluttering session?

Decluttering does not mean getting rid of everything. It means keeping what truly supports your life now. The goal is comfort, function, and calm — not minimalism or regret.

One-off sessions focus on immediate change. Full-service home support helps maintain systems over time, supporting long-term calm and preventing clutter from building back up.

Decluttering requires decision-making and emotional processing, which can be tiring. Feeling drained is normal and does not mean you are doing it wrong. The right support reduces this emotional load instead of adding to it.
