Julie’s book has been an invaluable resource for me. As a professional organizer, I’ve learned how to better understand my client’s needs who have experienced loss. Learning about the brain’s response to trauma, the important role that organization plays, and strategies to help my clients move forward has strengthened my professional skills.
