I like the way the British handle hoarders, they don’t shame them, make them scream and force them into a panic.

Perfect timing, I really needed to see this right now. My therapist is helping me with my hoarding issues, and I have a shed full of fabric, and my second bedroom is half full. If my daughter would come to visit, there would be no room for her to sleep, and that was one of the main reasons why I wanted a 2 bedroom apartment.

At least this stuff is usable Some hoarders have garbage and rotten food everywhere

Keep it Simple. Example: I have 5 book shelves. The only books I keep are ones that fit into these shelves. I only keep books by my favorite authors. I limit the number of authors I collect to 3. The other books are one-offs. I keep open areas for bookends and collectibles or knick knacks. If I buy a new book I must have space for that book on the shelf or I have to get rid of a book in order for the new book to remain. I donate my old books to the library or other organizations so that other people can enjoy them, too. I see it as a gift to others to donate my well loved and no longer needed book. If I have a need for sentiments I can take a picture of that item so I have it to look back on. I can also make notes aboit a book that I have read, why I liked it, what inspired me, etc. These things help me to love my things and not become a hoarder like my mom was. I love books. I love stuff. All kinds of stuff!! I could collect a million things but I choose not to so that I can enjoy what I currently have and just live day to day life without having too much to overwhelm me. I always seem to have things to donate and that's okay. New comes in and old stuff goes out. It's the way of life. And we have to accept that. Also, by not collecting all the things you can enjoy other people's homes and their collections. The internet is now a great resource for learning and reading everything!! Books on Kindle can keep you from creating a hoard or being bombarded by a hoard. You just have to make the decision to say I can let go. I can let go because I'm not going to be here forever and as my time is limited I should enjoy all that I have while I'm here. The rest of what I don't use can go to someone who can use it. I would like my items to remain in good condition until it is passed along to someone else. So I have to be able to keep my things and my spaces clean and maintained. I will not neglect my family, my responsibilities, my own life for the sake of my stuff. I can let go because I refuse to have so many things that overwhelm my family after I pass away. I can let go because when I look at my things they make me happy. I can let go because I want my family and friends to look at my things and it brings them happiness peace and fond memories. And if it does none of these things.... It has to leave. And I say good bye. 👋 I make sure the item leaves my home within 3 days. If you set a time limit you will find it helps you to stay on task and focused. And most importantly....If you need help ASK SOMEONE. 💜🙏💖

I think the big difference is in how they are handled. On Hoarders, firstly they're in it for the ratings, and drama sells. They also don't deal with the trauma factor of why they've become hoarders, they just show up and start throwing things away, of course that's going to stress someone out. They also do it all in just 3 days, where here, they help the person to work through a long process. Much less traumatizing.

Curtis probably earns 10 times more for being on the show than the money they raise.

The British way of handling excess stuff is lovely. I especially like finding stuff to sell. The whole key is purging some stuff as time passes. As a crafter I get how supplies accumulate . So have been taking excess stuff to thrift stores. Love this series.

When she goes “buttons, feathers…” I thought she was naming the cats 🤣

There’s no use having it if you can’t find it. Donate.

The hoarding always seems to be the result of past trauma(s).

I enjoyed seeing how something that looked impossible, really was doable.. it is sad how something that we like can snowball into a messy clutter that just keeps growing. Until it overtakes your environment and life.

In a word donate! Perhaps there’s a school or community theatre that could make good use of such treasures!

YES! Local houses of worship, donation bins, etc. Lots of organizations will even pick up from your home for free. The Lupus Foundation lets you schedule pick up online. You just leave the stuff on your front porch or in the lobby of your apartment building.

Her dead husband looks like he was a really nice guy! My husband is one of those too! Love of my life! 25 years married! :)

I feel like my house currently looks like a hoarding house 😭😭. There's paint cans and random tools and broken furniture scattered everywhere on top of normal mess especially the garage because the whole place needs renovating.

If they brought in a better staff, like the competition (?) who has Dr. Stelios Kiosses and Zoe and I forgot the other woman’s name.. so sorry.. they’re clearly more patient, more experienced and much more compassionate. And Dr. Kiosses makes me feel that he actually managed to move the needle and the hoarders are equipped with the tools to help themselves. Whereas here, Curtis usually undersells their valuable stuff and it’s clear that he’s on a deadline to find something and sell it, so he takes things the hoarders don’t want to sell and gets very little money for it - but oh! We need it for the show…

As a costume designer myself, the title is physically and mentally attacking me.

Lisa: traveled the world and has an amazing collection of stuff Curtis: so 5£ for the lot?

I really appriciate the help the hoarders get in UK compared to US. In UK the people are kind, warm, respectful, and sell some items. In US the helpers and the hoarders and their families are more aggressive. I think that’s a cultural thing. And the aggressiveness and the stress and rush seems not be helpful for the cause either. The end result is good in both continents. 🇸🇪

It could have something to do with the amount of time each show spends with the hoarders. in the US, they have to &et things done in 3 days, or it could have taken a week behind the, in the UK, they work with them for 6 weeks...or so it seems. 😉😊

Lisa’s kids are amazing!

I love the 2 women hoarders in this episode.

Lillian and Lisa seems like such a sweethearts I am glad they are doing well in their new space and life also Lisa's grandbaby is OMG CUTE! Glad everything is working out for the two

I would love their assistance. I live in America. I like how they aren't rushing you. They show respect and care about the things you care about. I think that's why the ladies were so kind and didn't have a challenging time in letting go.

Lisa is so sweet...what a gal

There are always online groups that you can sell by the quarter yard and make some money back!

And again, the inexperienced homeowner made more than the “experts”. 🤷‍♀️

Lillian's husband took a piece of her heart with him when he passed away 😢

The prices that they get for goods always seem to be tooooooo low.

My mom was a hoarder, I am a minimalist every item I own I have to clean so I own very little, I would rather spend my time studying.

Both her rooms are now practical and useable, if not totally cleared of stuff. But as a costume designer you will need a lot of material and other bits and bobs in your studio and storage. She still got rid of a huge lot and organized the rest so that she can find it and get to it when she needs it. That is a win in my book.

So-called "expert" Curtis seems to have a lot of friends who buy stuff at low prices.

Two great ladies!

Why do they go to Scottish dealers and markets? They don't make very much money for the people selling their kit, they would make more selling the stuff for themselves online

"Well, it looks..... you!" LOL!

As a claustrophobe, I couldn't even watch the entire episode, but had to skip through various parts. I just cannot fathom having so much junk that there's no real home.

That guy, Mr. Curtis is a charlatan. She had 200 Ladybird books which he said would go for $50-60 each. Then he offers her $1,000 for the lot of them. It should have been at least $5,000 which is half of their value so includes a profit for him. He can get $10,000 for them. So what a way to rip her off.
