Reliving Emotional Trauma & Restarting Konmari Decluttering

I started this video with the intention of filming the next step in the #KonmariDecluttering process, but as I started talking, a lot of buried emotions came up. I started realizing what has TRULY kept me stuck and not able to move forward with the #KonmariMethod. In this video, I talk about reliving some of the emotional trauma from when Cullen and I separated and he began addressing his addiction. I broke down and shared with you how it's been holding me back and how I plan to move forward now. Thank you guys for always being so loving and supportive as we are going through so many life changes right now! 💕

My heart goes out to you. The first step to recovery is admitting to your self that you have a problem. And about the sorting of the clothes, it's hard to let go of the idea of your babies are growing up and transitioning the fact they are growing up. My hardest moment was the day my oldest graduated was the day he moved out. I had the worst anxiety panic attack ever. My babies were my life. They still are. He's now 29. Wow. And he's on Special Teams in the Airforce. So now I have different worries. My middle son is 28 and my daughter is 13. OMG it's a new world with a teenage daughter. A whole new set of worries. I under stand were you are more than you can know. I'm here for you anytime on the day or night. Hold your head up high and know you are carried about.

Your vlogs are helping me so much and I just want to thank you both from the bottom of my heart♡ for opening up and sharing your lives with us.

[@amielawson8344]

Katie you have been through so much. From multiple miscarriages, to postpartum depression, to dealing with Cullen’s addiction and wondering if your marriage would survive. Any one of those things can cause someone to develop PTSD, add them all together, and it is a given. I hope that you are seeking therapy. I started therapy the very end of last year and it has made a huge difference in my life. I like you had multiple miscarriages before we had our daughter, then our pregnancy and delivery was stressful, with me almost bleeding to death during my c-section, to a car accident that fractured my spine with my newborn in the car, to finally admitting things from my childhood. I always thought I had PTSD, but felt like people would look at me and say what did I have to be upset about. I was wrong and therapy is helping me to learn and grow and see all of the things I did because of my past traumas. I see a lot of that with you. I hope you know you aren’t alone in this journey, and sharing it will help not only yourself, but so many others.

It took me a while to trust my husband.. So I put him in Gods hands and left him there, because when we try to do things ourselves we make a mess, so I left him there and God worked on him.. Our relationship today is Awesome! We both worked on ourselves and now it’s better than ever... Katie just let go and let God, trust me it really does work!!! I just cried with you because I been there and the pain is real.. I felt like I couldn’t let my guard down if I did I felt something would go wrong and I felt like I was the joke of everyone around me.. At first I was but when I just gave it all to God, let me tell ya he turn it all around and I wasn’t the joke any longer I was a testimony of Gods Love.. Just know you are helping so many people...

My sister had this one area of her yard that whenever she started pulling weeds there, it would bring up really bad memories because of a past event that happened while she'd been in that spot before. I had a housecleaning business and when I would clean this one shower, it always brought back memories of a phone call that I received when I was doing that before. So.....I get it. It's not crazy that this room brought up the emotions for you.

[@judidunham5037]

Please don’t take this the wrong way, Katie, but I don’t think the clothes are what makes you emotional. Clothes are just clothes; something to cover our bodies. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said you may be associating them with rough times in your life; or better times. It’s taken me years to realize that the things that make me emotional OR angry, seldom, if ever, have anything to do with what I’m doing in that moment. Keep working on yourself like you’ve been doing so well, and the clothes will sort themselves out. Less is more. Less clothes, less flashbacks, less emotions. Love you, mean it. 💓

[@midnitemoon577]

Thank you for being brave enough to be real. You arent alone. Lots of us are sending you supporting & comforting vibes. Lots of us have had similar and other types of painful trauma. It isn't easy. It really can be anxiety-provoking. My only child, a 26 yr old daughter I raised on my own (after divorcing her dad when she was a toddler) died unexpectedly in a tragic hiking accident. When you said you want to be happy but feel like as soon as you are happy, it's like you're waiting for things to suddenly go bad, I suddenly realized that I have been doing that too since she died. I feel like I will be hurt over and over...like I cant trust life to just be okay to me. It's a weird dynamic. But luke you, I will keep working on that because deep down I know we all deserve to be happy. So good luck and be blessed. 💖✌🏾 I wish you the best on your journey.

Oh here I am, I cannot stop the tears for several days. The only thing that keeps me here is holding our Savior's hand( in my mind of course). I am trying to reduce my whole life of my things and my sweet momma's things to fit in a tiny spot. I am just grieving so hard for her, and all I can think of is the sad things. Not the wonderful, wonderful blessings in my life. Girl, don't give up. Satan is just enjoying it. I know he is. I think he is just trying to push all us good girls around. I just get a Kleenex and keep on. 8 am 71 years old and bless your little heart, I sure felt what you said today. Do not listen to Satan. Just read your Bible and say your prayers and do not give in.

[@lorisiccia5914]

Totally get the thing of associating the decluttering when you were going through a stressful time.... Then restarting is so hard....trying to do that myself but finding it hard... first time i tried konmari method was just after a break up of a long term relationship....almost 10 years.. And the process was hard cuz ...ok now what...and some items briggin out memories good and bad....making me question every decision...... Ffwd to now...trying thd process again...and stuff comes flooding back....and i know i need it to be done to fully be able to move fwd...but not sure which way is fwd.. making it hard to decide what should stay or go... and the items i loved...but are too small for me because i gained more n more..and seemed to have kept everything when it felg like i was losing everything..if that makes sense. Still workin onnit..bit by bit. The spark joy thing is a hard gauge for me...so been thinkin more..does this fit my life right now......not the idea of what i thought should have been. Hard for me to do bits when my perfectionist in me wants to just do it allin one go..and be done with it.....but struggling. Thanks for sharing your story behind the struggles with thd process of letting go. I liked that it was very real and relateable...vs videos ive seen that people dont talk about the struggle ....and i slowdown when i see it seemed so unrealistically "easy" for some.....and i hope one day something will click and the process gets easier. Clothes is supposed to be easy ..but i find clothes hold more memories. Thanks again for your share

[@korriekearns4584]

Katie girl, you are so strong. I wonder if you are still harboring thoughts of doubt and uncertainty with Cullen and this process brings you back to the time when things were raw and real. You are so much better already now than then. You are loved and supported.

[@briannaf2648]

Katie, you are so strong, beautiful, and inspiring. ❤️ My father is an alcoholic and although I now live 18 hours from my family (my husband, children, and I moved across the country), I still have to “deal” with his problems daily. He still doesn’t realize he has a problem and says he never drinks. He pukes up blood everyday and it terrifies me. He was always a good dad growing up. But after my Grandma passed two years ago, I think it really broke our whole family. But he turned to wine, instead of turning to Jesus. I pray he realizes he has a problem, before alcohol takes his life. I am still praying for you and your family. ❤️ Sorry for the novel🙈

[@kwalker3465]

Coming from a family that has had to deal with addiction in the past, I can tell you that living with an addict can cause one to become "Allergic" to chaos. Though it's been many years, I still to this day do NOT like for "my" people to be angry or distant, because there is always that fear that they will go use "because of me." Now, I know they didn't use because of me...but man if all of those feelings don't come back. We had a HUGE clean out and decluttering this past November, and I really struggled. Now that things are calmer, there are just piles in random areas of the house that I REFUSE to go through, because I truly don't want to deal with those emotions again. I've given myself grace, and I figure I can tolerate the tiny bit of clutter we still have, and celebrate the clutter we trashed...and I know that eventually, I'll tackle both the corners of clutter, AND those emotions..but not today. Today, I'm going to start with grace. Much love today, and everyday.

[@ChassityHudgins]

Still watching, but I understand fully. Our situation isn't addiction, but infertility. It was time to go through our son's room & never knowing if we'll ever add another baby to our family. I wanted to hold on so tightly to those newborn clothes that still smelled like the beginning of our parenting journey and never let my baby grow up. I can still smell how his room smelled as we painted and prayed that one day we'd be a family of more than 2. I could almost smell how many times I sat in an empty room only occupied by a rocking chair when I would cry and hold onto an item from our hope chest. We were so excited to prepare our nursery because we knew God had a plan. We'll be welcoming our second son via adoption in the next few weeks. I say all of that (crying, of course) because I understand the emotional toll that a trigger brings. You'll be totally fine & suddenly the smallest thing will send you reeling. I'm praying for you guys. ALSO, my husband would thoroughly enjoy if I Konmari'd my entire life LOL! Why do baby/toddler clothes have to be so sweet? It would make shopping a lot simpler if they weren't so precious LOL

[@NewEnglandMumma]

I know exactly what you mean Katie with associations. Even when I did my clothing, I donated items that reminded me of bad times, because I associated the clothing, with the traumatic event. I’ve completed the process, but you’re right it’s very emotionally draining, and not in the ways you expect. 💞

[@Rite1010.]

Marie Kondo actually suggests that you have the kids go through their belongings and for you to let the kids really make the decision. She even says by the time they are 3 they know what they like and don't like. Part of it is because when someone else goes through it they may let their emotions get in the way of their kids learning to tidy up unintentionally. Also addiction sucks.

My husband has the same problem with, "Oh, things are going great. A little too great. Which means it's all going to come crashing down any second!" And it can be frustrating for me because I feel like shaking him and saying, "Why are you like this? Why can't you just be happy!" But then I realize that, as frustrating as it is for me, it's *WAY* more frustrating for him, and he's not doing it on purpose. There's just something in his brain that tells him that when things are going well, they're about to be taken away again. Maybe it comes from past events? Maybe it's just from depression/anxiety? Who knows. But it's heartbreaking to see someone you care about struggle with it when you just wish with all of your might that they could just relax and soak in the happiness like they deserve to. Sending hope and prayers and wishes that you can get through this soon and be able to bask in the glow of happiness 💕

As you're talking about it I start thinking I have to go through my stuff but I keep asking myself when will I get a chance to go through all the things that I have

[@sheenct]

I'm sorry you are struggling but I think it's so important to understand that during any process there will still be days when things are hard. The issues are still there but now you are equipped with better tools to handle them. I can't wait to see what the future holds. Thanks for sharing.

Love you Katie can't wait for the results of Brooks clean out and did you say big big boy bed

I am the same way. Six years ago I was doing dishes when my husband got a call that one of our best friends past away. To this day I have a hard time doing dishes because of that.

I’ve been through my own marriage trouble because we lost our son and i find myself getting the same way about things that you wouldn’t think

Sometime cleaning up and cleaning out means so much more than space and things you have. Touching.

Katie you’re looking fantastic! Listening to your vlogs recently has actually made me realise that I actually am struggling with thoughts and feelings and maybe I need to take some steps to get some help!! Thank you so much, keep up the good work, much love from the uk xx
