Hoarding: A Simple Look At A Complex Disorder (Part 1)

What is Hoarding?

How do we know when collecting crosses the line into hoarding?

Why People Hoard?

This class explores the complex reality of Hoarding Disorder. We'll define hoarding and pinpoint the critical signs differentiating it from passionate collecting. We delve into the 'why' behind the behavior, uncovering the multiple layers and common triggers—often a dozen or more—that fuel the compulsive need to acquire. Learn how this compulsion can be an attempt to fill emotional voids. Gain a compassionate understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with Hoarding Disorder.
