Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Individuals with clutter challenges participate in Buried in Treasures Workshop (BIT) that has been shown to improve symptoms of hoarding disorder. The investigators hypothesize that adding virtual reality decluttering practice to the BIT workshop will decrease hoarding symptoms and level of clutter over time.
