<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">As I remember from my readings, this is an anxiety disorder. I do not have the name of a psychologist to provide therapy, but you could call Tom Wall here in Seattle and he could provide some referrals. These
anxiety disorders are quite difficult to treat. Denial is part of the symptomology. They can create some difficult and violent reactions. Imagine going through the mail and not being able to even part with junk mail. Retaining jars that once contained ice
cream. The minutia overcomes and overwhelms. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
