That Hoarder: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding
Hoarding disorder is stigmatised and people who hoard feel vast amounts of shame. This podcast began life as an audio diary, an anonymous outlet for somebody with this weird condition. That Hoarder speaks about her experiences living with compulsive hoarding, she interviews therapists, academics, researchers, children of hoarders, professional organisers and influencers, and she shares insight and tips for others with the problem. Listened to by people who hoard as well as those who love them and those who work with them, Overcome Compulsive Hoarding with That Hoarder aims to shatter the stigma, share the truth and speak openly and honestly to improve lives.

The important thing to remember about it, I tell my clients this, is it's not a defect. It's not something that is wrong with you. You are not lazy. You are not unable to change. It is a survival state that in your life experience was what you used in order to survive the environment, whatever it might be that has occurred in your life, and it's become the default.
