Seems like not many counselors know how to deal with hoarding issues or specialize in it. It’s scary that the statistic can be as high as 1/20 individuals can be diagnosed as hoarders. Definitely need more informed counselors. Also, not all hoarders have the type of cognitive deficits that were discussed. I imagine that once the clutter accumulates and or debt accumulates, it’s difficult for the person sometimes to revert back to “normal.” It will definitely take quite a bit of time to undo years of accumulation. For those that sincerely want to change, they are confused and overwhelmed regarding where to begin. It’s much easier to organize things when there’s less stuff. I do agree that patience and compassion goes a long way to help hoarders heal from their suffering. Dr. Honda, can you please have another discussion on this topic? Thanks. Also, I’m not sure if The Hoarding Project is active anymore? Their website doesn’t seem to work.
