In this episode of The Mental Health Toolbox Podcast, psychotherapist Patrick Martin sits down with decluttering expert Holly Allison from Modest and Manageable Living to explore the profound impact of clutter on mental health. They tackle how clutter can exacerbate anxiety, depression, and decision fatigue, making it more than just a matter of messy spaces.
