If you\'ve ever seen the show hoarders, then you know how bad this mental illness can get, for whatever reason, being surrounded by stuff is comforting for the hoarder, and can make life seem more manageable. However, to anyone else, all that stuff would create a very different feeling, perhaps one of unease.
Having a family member who is a hoarder can go unnoticed for years. You might always wonder why you never go to their house and why they are at all the family functions but never host at their home. Many hoarders\' families have no idea to the extent there is a problem. After all, on the outside, they could seem like they have everything together. It isn\'t until the person doesn\'t want to leave there home that some might consider this a huge issue, but it is.
Hoarding can lead to unsanitary living conditions. If your loved one is to this point, you might be considering intervention on their behalf. Take a look at some ideas for staging an intervention to have the best success, hopefully.
[B]Pick The Best Time, Mornings[/B]
For most interventions, mornings are almost always best. It is unclear why that is, but it seems that talking to someone in the morning yields better results. At the end of the day, the brain is unwinding and not prepared to take in what someone is saying to them. Try to schedule something for after breakfast, but before lunch.
[B]Start Going Through Their Hoard Beforehand[/B]
One thing you can do to prepare your loved one is going through their hoard before the intervention. Simply relay to your loved one that the hoarding needs to stop and that the living conditions are no longer safe. Go through clothing and ask the hoarder how they feel about the idea to [U][B][URL=https://pickupplease.org/donate-in-paterson/]donate clothes[/URL][/B][/U]. Sometimes the idea of giving to others is enough for them to start moving the hoard. However, this can also be a challenging time too.
[B]Locate A Therapist For Hoarders[/B]
Before [U][B][URL=https://www.addictioncenter.com/treatment/stage-intervention/]staging the intervention[/URL][/B][/U], you\'ll want to talk to a therapist that works correctly for this type of mental disease. They will have the best tips and advice for overcoming the issues and help get your loved one on the right track to recovery. In all likelihood, the person is going to feel very defensive and may be unwilling to change; this is where the counselor will be of major help. [U]
