Senior Series: The Psychology of Letting Go

Senior Series is a series of conversations with local experts focused on the unique and complex housing related issues facing mature homeowners and their families.  This month's topic is The Psychology of Letting Go.

The house is too big. The yard has become unmanageable. Closets are filled to the brim. We haven’t been in the attic for decades.  Despite all the signs that it’s time to simplify, many people struggle with letting go.  Whether it’s saying “goodbye” to a home of many years or parting with the treasures inside, certain challenges are commonplace when it comes to downsizing, rightsizing, or relocating. We will take a deep dive into the human psyche and discuss what makes it so difficult to let go.

Liz McNeel, with Keller Williams Metropolitan and Founder of the Houston Senior Living Series will moderate a panel of experts in exploring this topic.  This program is geared toward older adults and their family members. It is free and open to the public.  No registration required.
