Hoarding is not something to take lightly.
It is not something that people who are un-educated should judge, just by
looking inside the doorstep of a hoarder’s home. It really isn’t that simple. And so it won’t
be that simple to solve this mystery behind closed doors.
The truth of the matter is that hoarders assign too much value to their possessions,
making it difficult or impossible to decide to get rid of those possessions.
When you think about
it hoarders are treated differently than others who don’t hoard in society.
They are treated with less respect and are televised and broadcasted. You
wouldn’t broadcast a normal person would you? No, because that’s what I mean.
If everyone wants to solve and help hoarders into a hoarding free lifestyle,
then we have got to start treating hoarders as normal people; that is what they
are, isn’t it? They are more than just some label or stamp..
But other than just
treating hoarders like us, we also have to understand that a hoarder brain is
wired differently. So because of that different wiring.. we can’t just simply
“solve” hoarding with a snap of a finger. No it takes commitment and mental
health experts and the more involved in supporting the hoarder, recovery time
is faster and better.
It’s kind of like
coaxing a turtle out of it’s shell. It takes time; it might take all day. Who
knows, it depends on who the person is and how bad the situation is.
