Helping someone with a hoarding disorder takes more than throwing away their stuff

Is tough love the right approach for people struggling with hoarding disorders, or is there another way?

In this episode, we explain how to recognise hoarding disorder and how it differs from having a collection or even hoarding-themed OCD. We explore how to navigate the intense shame experienced by people with a hoarding disorder or hoarding-themed OCD and how to sensitively and responsibly provide intervention.
