BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Living Simply What do you think of the program Hoarders?

I think they get rid of the stuff too fast and that's why it's traumatic for the owners. I think the program should be made over a 6 month period, not over a weekend.

I completely agree. While they bring in the right resources-an organizer, psychologist, junk removal-the process is so sped up that there isn't a real resolution. The end is usually just the hoarder who now has their house back, but may not possess the skills to *keep* the home that way. And I think while I agree with some of the techniques (if someone has 45 vases, they put all the vases in one box and choose what they really want and donate the rest), I hope they continue with the psychological aspect after the cameras are gone. The show can be absolutely heartbreaking...
