Hi everyone, I'm writing from Blink Films, a British television production company currently producing a six part series on what neuroscience can tell us about our behaviour and they way we live our lives. One of our episodes is about decision making, and we would like to feature someone who is struggling with hoarder, to explore how our decision making process is shaped by the make-up of our brains. If you would be interesting in taking part, which would involve us visiting you for a day, please get in touch with your details and a little information about your life. Thanks Olivia olivia.issacs@blinkfilmsuk.com | |

Laura - Where do you live? I am in the same boat as you, and can help others, but not myself. I'm not good at decorating, but I can help others clean up and organize! | |
