The book that helped me be kinder to myself is written by Matt Paxton "the secret lives of extreme hoarders". I am also so impressed by these chat forums.

And also...

Even if I don't become as popular as Cory and Matt are, I still want to write at least one book and I would still want to be an "extreme cleaner". Because even though it would be really awesome to be a super popular "extreme cleaner", I still mostly want to do it to help hoarders. :)

I would love to write a book one day. :)

I need A LOT more experience with helping hoarders before I can write a book about it though. :)

I also want to wait a few years after I officially become an "extreme cleaner" to write a book. Because depending on how popular of an extreme cleaner I become, I might write more than one book. And even though i wouldn't release all of the books at the same time, I still want to have everything organized and know what I want to put in each book before I write them. :)

What is your background and experience?
Anybody can write a book these days but not everybody is an expert.
I do not recognize your name.
Do you have a licensed practice or business?
