I caught another hoarder-type show on TLC late last night. It was really well done. They showed more of the therapeutic aspect of treatment. One woman had only tiny paths to move around throughout her house. Her kitchen was horrible. She cooked but had to rummage through boxes for frying pans & utensils & only had 1 burner visible on her stove. Her husband stayed in the bedroom so he didn't have to watch her cook because the chance of fire frightened him.

The woman saved tons of glass & plastic containers. When asked by the psychologist why she needed them she said she once received soup in a glass jar from a friend & she planned on making some to pass out the same way. But not in the plastic jars. Those wouldn't work. The psychologist pointed out to her that she was making new rules for her collections. Soup only in glass, plastic for everything else. The lady was stunned. Why, YES, she DID make her own rules for her junk. It was like a light bulb moment for her. That was cool to see. Then she went on to help toss stuff out till the house was clean.
