That Hoarder: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding
That Hoarder
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.

#17 Being the child of a hoarder: an interview with Elizabeth Nelson
"Even if I was the most skilled expert on compulsive hoarding, I probably wouldn't be the appropriate person to be intervening with my mother because of the intimacy and all the emotional baggage between us. So yeah, it's just really complicated."

#15 Is digital clutter really that bad?
"People say, ‘No, you shouldn't do these things. Because you're just transferring physical clutter into digital clutter. And it's just as disorganised and it takes up a different kind of space and your phone will run out of room and you'll regret it’"

#14 Why do I keep buying stuff?
"I don't know why I get such an urge to get stuff in the first place. I mean, is it just living under capitalism? Am I just a victim of every advert I see and every idea I have that I feel I need to turn into a possession of some kind?"

#12 ”But throwing it away would be a waste of money”: defeating objections to dehoarding
What I want to focus on today is: ‘well I can't throw this away, because it would be a waste of money. I spent a lot of money on that pair of jeans, or that shelving unit, or that bedding and throwing it away now would waste that money’.

#11 Does hoarding really have a 97% recidivism rate?
I need to stop this statistic - that may or may not be made up - from being a barrier that stops me from making my home livable in. And so that is my goal for the time being, I need to get that number out of my head and stop using it as a reason to not make progress.
