Podcasts about hoarding disorder

Psychiatrist Carolyn Rodriguez studies hoarding disorder and says that all of us have attachments to our possessions. But for many, these attachments can disrupt daily life and even pose health risks. For those with loved ones who struggle with hoarding disorder, she says treatments exist, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Lately, she's been studying how virtual reality can augment CBT through virtual discarding practice and ways brain stimulation may improve symptoms. But, Rodriguez says, never underestimate the value of empathy for those in need of help, as she tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

I talk honestly about the shame and guilt that keeps so many of us stuck. There's some reflection on the roots of hoarding, the importance of self-compassion, and why hating ourselves into action just doesn't work -  plus a few practical suggestions for anyone trying to make a change, no matter where you're starting from.

Reflection on self-blame, regret, and paralysis it can cause. Catholic upbringing: Confession, forgiveness, and the importance of genuine intent to change. Recognition that hoarding often stems from trauma, loss, fear, anxiety, or neurodivergence. Discussion of cause and effect - influences behind hoarding behavior. Emphasis that hoarders are not lazy or bad people, but in a complex situation. The cycle of self-judgement and the importance of self-compassion as an antidote to shame. Practical advice: Treat oneself with the compassion you'd offer others, challenging negative self-talk. How self-criticism can demotivate and hinder progress. Comparison: Encouraging someone else is more effective than berating oneself. Understanding mistakes, taking responsibility, and making amends when possible. The importance of learning from past experiences and committing to doing better. Practical Strategies for Moving Forward Suggestions for emotional and action-oriented progress: Journalling or talking to someone about feelings. Looking back with compassion to identify patterns and triggers. Start dehoarding by breaking tasks into small steps. Avoiding perfectionism; celebrating any progress. Reference to "towards and away moves" from episode 182 with Dr. Jan Eppingstall. Identifying values and making choices that align with them. Finding support from therapists, friends, family, support groups, or accountability sessions. Acknowledgement that forgiving oneself is challenging but necessary for progress. Emphasising persistence, compassion, and learning from mistakes. Encouragement and Validation Recognition of listeners at various stages of their journey - starting, struggling, making progress, or just listening for now. Assurance that small steps count and everyone is doing their best. Emphasis that listeners are not alone.

If you've been putting it off, consider this podcast episode as a sign to clean up your clutter! As we get swept up in the busyness of life, we inadvertently let things accumulate. We outgrow our clothes or forget the items we've once loved and the gifts we've been given. Over time, we stash these items away to make room for new stuff we need or want. Out of sight, out of mind, right? Sadly, no. These items tend to pile up, consuming space in our homes and in the back of our minds. If you're ready to free up that space and finally tackle that pile in the corner that's been haunting you for months, Darlene Brock and Julie Bender can advise on where and how to start. In this episode, they talk through how you can define 'clutter' and share a series of questions designed to help you determine whether you should truly hold onto something or toss it. They also dish on some cleaning perks that will keep you motivated. If you still need a little extra push, consider Darlene's clutter-cleaning mantra: "I live in a home, not a storage unit." Quote of the episode: “If you want to improve your life immediately, clean out a closet. Often what we hold onto holds us back.” —Cheryl Richardson Resources Related "Tips to Declutter Your Life and Mind in the New Year" "Is It Just Clutter Or Is It a Hoarding Disorder?"

The difference between hoarding tendencies versus hoarding disorder. Let us understand the fine line between habits and disorders. Angela Brown and Diane Quintana talk about hoarding habits versus hoarding problems. Diane knows a lot about organizing and cleaning up clutter. She explains the small but important differences between these two things. Angela shared stories about her husband's difficulty with clutter when they moved, making the conversation more relatable. Diane emphasizes that hoarding disorder goes beyond mere clutter; it disrupts daily functionality by rendering spaces unusable for their intended purposes. She illustrates this with examples of extreme cases where entire rooms, even bathrooms, become inaccessible due to excessive hoarding. However, she clarifies that having an overstuffed closet or occasional difficulty letting go of items doesn't necessarily constitute hoarding disorder. Throughout the conversation, Diana offers practical advice, such as using "marinating boxes" for items that individuals are hesitant to part with, allowing them time to make decisions without succumbing to anxiety. She also advocates for gradually closing the loop on unfinished tasks, emphasizing the importance of addressing clutter piece by piece. Overall, this dialogue provides valuable insights into recognizing and managing hoarding tendencies, offering hope and guidance to those grappling with clutter-related challenges. #HoardingWorld #AskAngelaBrown Chapters: 00:00:00 Introduction  00:02:18 The Stress of Moving  00:03:46 Hoarding Tendencies vs. Hoarding Disorder  00:05:31 Overstuffed Closets vs. Hoarding Disorder  00:06:06 Closing the Loop SPONSORSHIPS & BRANDS ------------------- Today's #ClutterCornerLive sponsor is #SavvyCleaner training for house cleaners and maids. - https://savvycleaner.com/join And your host today is #AngelaBrown - https://g.page/r/CbMI6YFuLU2GEBI/review ** HELPFUL RESOURCES ** (“Paid Link”) -------- Sustainable Excellence: Ten Principles To Leading Your Uncommon And Extraordinary Life - https://amzn.to/48HKAXw A No Nonsense Guide to Organizing Your Home - https://amzn.to/49AzPXL Decluttering at the Speed of Life - https://amzn.to/3FZCsFD The Sentimental Person's Guide to Decluttering - https://amzn.to/3jxFRDX REPROGRAM YOUR MIND SLEEP TAPES ---------- The New Normal Sleep Tape - https://youtu.be/ebLJJA6rUHw The New Tape | Affirmations Of A Clean and Orderly Home | "I AM" - https://youtu.be/n13ZBvaCMjw * When available, we use affiliate links, and as Amazon Associates, we earn on qualifying purchases.

Release date: October 27th, 2023 Dr. Laura Roberts is joined by Dr. Carolyn Rodriguez and Dr. Randy Frost, authors of the new book Hoarding Disorder – A Comprehensive Clinical Guide, which tackles a condition which has been part of the zeitgeist for a while now (just ask fans of Marie Kondo) yet was only codified as a disorder in the DSM-5 in 2013. This is therefore a pioneering new work in the field, and the authors discuss the book's genesis and their ambitions for understanding and treating a condition now thought to be more prevalent than OCD.

The Sunk Cost Fallacy is a cognitive bias that sees us continuing a behaviour despite evidence that it's not effective because we have previously invested significant resources, time, money and / or effort. And if we step away from our investment, it will become a loss. For hoarders, we see this manifest as ' I've kept it this long, I'd better keep hold of it. Or I paid so much for it, I'd better keep it.'

"they very much do in their mind feel like they're saving the animal. And many times they are the person who truly did save that animal that they found on a highway. That they took an animal from a place that was objectively unsafe for the animal and brought them into their home. And I think where the disconnect happens is the person's insight into whether or not their home is the right home for that animal." - Dr Mary DozierFor the full show notes and transcript for this episode, visit the website at Overcome Compulsive Hoarding / http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ Become a Dehoarding Darling https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/darlingQuestions to ask when dehoarding: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/podquestionsTwitter: @ThatHoarderMastodon: @ThatHoarder@mastodon.onlineTikTok: @thathoarderoch https://www.tiktok.com/@thathoarderochFacebook: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding with That Hoarder / https://www.facebook.com/Overcome-Compulsive-Hoarding-with-That-Hoarder-104370761703319Pinterest: That Hoarder / https://www.pinterest.com/ThatHoarderYouTube: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding with That Hoarder / https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSxMqB_fGckbGOQZpkl6l9gReddit: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding with That Hoarder / Kathleen Can Do It: DIY, Home Decor, and Interior DesignCreate the home of your dreams at any budget!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifyThere is strong evidence that CBT can help people who hoard and accessing therapy online can be affordable and accessible.
