I’m tackling the 13 pieces of hoarding advice that you're really tired of hearing, and I’m hitting them head on! We've all been on the receiving end of well-meaning but utterly unhelpful advice when it comes to hoarding. From "just get rid of it" to "you're being lazy"… the list goes on. They may seem harmless, but they often overlook the emotional complexities and serious mental health challenges faced by people who hoard. Most importantly, I explain why these pieces of advice do more harm than good. Oversimplified solutions just won't cut it when it comes to overcoming hoarding disorder. Terrible Hoarding Advice"Just get rid of it" underestimates the emotional attachmentEmotional attachment to possessionsOverwhelming nature of such advice"It's just stuff" overlooks the significance of possessionsThe significance of possessions to hoardersDismissal of the emotional connection to items"Get rid of things that don't spark joy" oversimplified and doesn't consider complexitiesOversimplification of the decluttering processFailure to recognise the complexities of hoarding disorderBlaming hoarders for being lazy, weak, or selfish is not helpfulStress and shame reinforcementThe impact of negative reinforcement on mental healthTelling hoarders to be embarrassed or ashamed is counterproductiveExacerbation of hoarding tendenciesImplications for mental health and stigma"Just get a skip" advice may create time pressure, anxiety, and public displayPressure and anxiety for hoardersPublic display of possessions and potential distressCleaning up a hoarder's space without consent creates mistrust and anxietyImpact on trust and mental well-beingReinforcement of trauma responsesSuggesting to sell or have a yard/car boot sale oversimplifies thingsComplexity of hoarding disorderDismissal of mental health issuesDecluttering advice of doing one room a day or week underestimates the difficultyEmotional challenges of decision-makingComplexity of hoarding disorderThree piles for keep, give away, and throw away is not effective as stand-alone adviceEmotional attachment and decision-makingComplexity of decluttering for hoardersTelling someone to try harder and give 100% effort at all times is unrealisticUnrealistic expectations and burnoutImpact on mental health and sustainabilityLong-term and complex nature of declutteringUnderstanding the complexity of the processMental and emotional focus of declutteringHoarding as a Complex ProcessComparison of decluttering to a marathonThe endurance required for declutteringCriticism of advice containing the word "just"Casual dismissal of hoarding tendenciesEncouragement to reconsider using "hoarder" casuallyImpact on stigma and understandingConsider emotional attachment in addressing hoarding issues.Hoarding disorder is complex and deeply personal.Blaming hoarders reinforces shame and hinder recovery.Skips can be a stressful solution.Car boot sale: a communal yard sale.Oversimplifying, dismissing mental health issues - not helpful.Avoid burnout by pacing and considering emotions.Simplify, declutter, and be mindful of health.Reconsider comparing mild mess to hoarding.Advice to declutter doesn't consider emotional attachment; drastic approach may cause fear and anxiety.Hoarding disorder is complex, possessions hold deep meaning, and one-size-fits-all approaches don't work.Blaming hoarding on laziness is unhelpful and untrue.Using skips as a solution for decluttering can create anxiety for some as it puts their possessions on public display.Car boot sales are similar to yard sales, with people selling items from their car boots in a car park on Sundays. Sellers might not get much for their cherished items.Avoid burnout by pacing efforts for long-term decluttering, including handling emotionally charged items with care.Casual use of mental health terms.Hoarding is not just about having too much stuff; it affects emotions and living conditions.Avoid comparing mild mess to hoarding.
