I have worked with many compulsive hoarders, and I mean compulsive. One guy I saw in his own home had not been able to see his floor for many years –instead he had a ‘carpet’ of old newspapers, magazines, plastic and paper bags and well – just about anything you care to mention.
Compulsive hoarding is a misdirected attempt to feel safe and secure. People can, literally, hide behind stuff and ‘nest themselves in’. However, most compulsive hoarders really do want to straighten themselves, and their environments, out. Of course, for the inveterate hoarder, throwing anything –even junk – away, or even thinking of doing so, can cause a great deal of anxiety even panic. Hypnosis is a wonderful tool to replace panic with calm. Some compulsive hoarders feel ashamed and embarrassed about hoarding, but hoarding is actually very human.
Compulsive hoarding is natural
The hoarding instinct is a natural part of human nature. We all need to feel safe and secure and save supplies for hard times, but compulsive hoarding takes this so far that the attempted solution becomes the problem. The new hypnosisdownloads.com session Stop compulsive hoarding helps hoarders understand their problem and find the calm and confidence to begin to clearing and throwing out things they really don’t need. A truly liberating experience, as the man with the ‘carpet of stuff’ happily discovered.
All the best
