Not so long I ago, I espoused the virtues of letting go. Well, some asked how you determine if you're in control or being controlling. I love Jeff Foxworthy's comedy routine, "You Might be a Redneck If", so in honor of that, here are a few hints that you've passed control and have become controlling. First, if you've voiced your concerns and not allowed ample time for a change in behavior to occur-you might be controlling (no, one hour is not long enough). If your blood pressure becomes elevated when you see one item out of place, you might be controlling. If your family leaves or hides every time you walk into a room, you might be controlling. If the dog refuses to go on walks with you, you might be controlling. Seriously, if your behaviors or habits are causing you and those around you more grief, frustration and aggravation than pleasure, it's time to reevaluate and make changes. After all it's funny on stage in a comedy routine, but not so funny if you have to live it every day.

About Me
- Dr. DClutter™
- I am Dr. Darnita L. Payden, Executive Director/Owner of Dr. DClutter™ Life Management, a division of PreciousOnes™ LLC. I have a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and over 20 years of experience working to help clients discover their strengths and talents. Having worked as a therapist, college professor, grief specialist and trainer, I have encountered in my journey many of the issues my clients may face. I have a sincere desire to help you find clarity, organization and independence in your life and environments. I know that life can be hectic, but I desire to help my clients bring as much order, peace and enjoyment back into their lives as is possible. What separates me from the norm? I focus on the client from a holistic perspective. I realize that most people desire a functional and an organized life, but may simply need support, understanding and information about why they have the habits or tendencies that have led to disorganization. I do not perform “quick fixes” or provide “one-size-fits-all” guidance, but I strive to provide strategies to my clients that will be life changing and useful for a lifetime. Dr. DClutter™ is a name well earned!!
