10 Years Worth of Family Memorabilia Hoarding | The Hoarder Next Door S2 Ep5 | Only Human 

Anyone else watch these as motivation to declutter and clean?

"I have an extensive sea shell collection. I keep them scattered across beaches around the world" - Steven Wright

It broke my heart when she screamed at her daughter, "You're just binning my memories. It's my house and my stuff! " She's totally forgotten that it's her daughter's house as well, and her daughter's memories that are there. It's the house she grew up in. The fact that she was screaming at her daughter over a manky old football program which was "irreplaceable" and she couldn't see her daughter in front of her, who is the real irreplaceable thing in her life, infuriates me. Her daughter is so understanding and calm.

Stelios seems like such a gentle, empathic and kind man (and he's got amazing blue eyes). Also, the de-cluttering ladies are always so encouraging and non-judgemental, it's wonderful to watch.

I like how the doctor wiped his feet on the front mat before entering the hoarded home. Bless.

Bless Tina she misses her mum so much shes just like a little girl when she finds her mums clothes.

My dad used to say if you haven't used it in the last two years, throw it out.

You now it's a problem when you want to keep a tissue box

Alison & Zoe, the decluttering ladies are fantastic, yet always respectful. Besides, what's even more funny: they look like twins!

Oh bless, when she found her mum’s coat...

He is a truly gifted and remarkable doctor. So empathic, astute and spot on. He makes the world a better place for his existence in it! Something we should all strive to do!

The kindness and empathy with which the crew, Stelios and the narrator deal with the hoarders is so lovely and professional. Much different then the american shows, they often ar all about showing drama

Watching these inspires me to clean the house more. Thought it was already clean and clear, but always manage to fill a bag to toss during each episode. I find it so relaxing. Hope these people find mental space and freedom too

Such an excellent series. Stellios is always so quick to pick up the trauma that causes the problem. Burning that sleeping bag made such a dramatic difference. The new technology to overcome deeply held grief was amazing in its effectiveness. Both of the women were utterly changed by their visits with Stellios and the treatments they undertook.

It is not just about cleaning their homes, it is so lovely to see them blossom after. Hope they are enjoying their lives now x

That thing with the tissue box! How she kept taping it back together....

It's interesting how people react to loss, when my parents died I need to get rid of everything in my house, I could barely look at anything that belonged to them. I gave everything to charity, and I painted all the house. In the end nothing worked and I had to move. Some people react being really attached. Although in my case, at least I didnt have all that mess.

Tina’s friend is so nice, trying to be careful with her words, so kind and tactful. Tina is very lucky to have her.

I feel for Tina so badly. She deserves closure, what happened I couldn't imagine going through.

I can't imagine the types of sicknesses dwelling in those homes..

I'm glad these women got the help and support they have needed and were able to move on with their lives. I hope they continue with their healing.

Stelios is a godsend! So much compassion and understanding for his patients. What a difference his therapy makes in their lives God bless the good doctor!

My memories are in my mind and heart...not in my house, and certainly not in stuff.

Every week we throw out, recycle or donate. I remember finding 12 boxes of my kids old school work. Out it went. All it takes is to watch this and I clean stuff out.

The joy of having loved ones visit make this whole process worthwhile. I hope these two women are doing well now.

I always wonder how many have other undiagnosed issues like ADHD, trauma, depression and anxiety and abusive relationships that compounds

She is so disgusted with an o.k. looking sleeping bag from the ex, but not 'disgusted' by her own mess and detritus. Interesting. lp

I can't for the life of me wonder who could give the video a thumbs down. All of these videso are learning experiences. Explaining why people hoard and helping them resolve it. We all can learn from others.

Tina really inspires me. She's so brave to do this all publicly. Thank you Tina

After my parents deaths, I donated their clothes to a local nursing home. They wee not wasteful people & I could feel them with me lovingly sharing with others. As in life, so in the afterlife.

These 2 were atypical I thought because they were not adding through binge shopping but only piling old things more or less.

I am actually going through exactly the same thing as Rachel, just this morning I was saying to my mum it is just an envelope...who has been there for 15years ...something got her she is looking at tv and I am looking at this episodes while I clean... at least I am getting things done and she let me clean ! After a few years of patience and psychology tricks at least she leaves me alone and I can throw stuff...She doesn’t want to look at it but let me do it 😌 I feel I am getting there slowly slowly! Hopefully we can enjoy soon....

I love doctors character!!! I find him kind ,he handles this situation very carefully .I send him many kisses from Greece

I love the humor that runs through this series; American hoarding shows take themselves too seriously (and melodramatically). And of course Stellios is easy on the eyes!

What would be amazing is if the women would get complete makeovers of themselves to help them feel better and be able to embrace their new found freedom from all the pain they've been holding inside

Please upload more episodes of this series. I have watched all the few episodes available.

I feel this show deals with the actual problems of trauma people experienced to make them hoarders in the first place,so seing them get healed from the problems is wonderful !

I love the cat watching the garbage can fire, like, ok what now

The mother standing in the dysfunction and the daughter being present and taking the brunt blew me.

I'm so happy they do this in 6 weeks and not in 3 days like in the US show, many times they trash good things because of lack of time...

The birth certificate type stuff is exactly why I don't let anyone throw out things that don't belong them in our house. No body has any right to throw your stuff away anyway. It's disrespectful to not care about someone else's property. Obviously these people need help, clearly, but people don't respect your things. My ex threw out a 1 inch floder stack, nicely beside my printer/PC without even asking me what it was(he's severe OCD) he thre away all my new born daughters birth payppers, hospital papers first pictures, her insurance and birth registry papers for Canada.. If you can't understand other people's things, then leave it.

I just love the cleaners - especially these two ladies are so perky and love their mindset !

Family member yells at me, and I'm OUTA THERE 🚶🚶‍♀️

I can honestly say that good therepy and some helping hands and support and love go very far. I'm so happy about the outcome. People just need to know they are valuable without anything else. This inspired me. Trauma is so difficult to deal with.

These women did very well and I hope they'll continue to keep their home uncluttered.💖

I love how he hugs them at the end🥺

Tina is such a lovely person. I hope she does well. In another episode they had another update about her where she had stalled and finally she released her fathers ashes in a lovely area and was able to move on. She was so responsive to treatment. I don’t know if this might help people understand a hoarder’s motivation a bit but I am an innate hoarder, especially papers, magazines and notes as well as loads of odds and ends collected during my life. I have always had a very poor memory so I use these objects as triggers for recalling memories of past events which is why I develop an emotional attachment to things others would view as rubbish (nothing dirty or actual trash). For my family’s sake I have gradually been forcing myself to honestly evaluate and rationalise my “need” for each of these things related to the cost (to myself and family) of holding onto it. Over repeated multiple sessions I have managed to significantly reduced my hoard (about 60% rn) as well as try to avoid adding to it by via a new way method where I will now take a photo of the item I either want to remember or of objects I desire (rather than buy it). Admittedly I have over a TB of digital photos but it satisfies my need to have a tangible reminder without creating actual clutter (also reduces impulsive spending). As an aside interestingly I have recently been diagnosed with ADHD at 50 yrs old! Not sure if that has any relation or not although it might explain my natural tendency towards disorganisation and messiness despite my best efforts.

I hoard children. Other people's since mine are grown. I'm momma or granny to half the neighborhood.

Poor Tina. What a terrible memory.

Liz NEEDS to give her daughter a HEARTFELT apology for YELLING at her, thats SO NASTY! Yelling at a family member can SEVER the relationship and make the injured party stay far AWAY from the perp.

Oof. That old bedding hadn't been washed in years. I could smell it through my phone.

Love this serie, between the ads 😂

Tina's excitement and joy as she went through her parents things was lovely!!

It feels how they get stuck in time…

I've started decluttering my house a couple of days ago. I'm not a hoarder, but have quite a few memories, attached to objects, which I don't really need. Some of them represent bad memories, so why keep them? Yesterday I threw away a birthday card and an apology letter, I wrote to a guy that treated me poorly (to say the least)... so ridiculous. I never sent the card or the letter, but have clang to them for years. Absurd, isn't it? I still have a lot of paperwork to go through, but I already threw away quite a lot of other stuff (yayy for me). I'm fascinated by the beautiful, though complex, human connections, in this show. I also enjoy the success stories of others (truly feel their joy by proxy), that give me huge motivation to create my own success story. Just love this show!

There's no place for Liz's kids because she's holding on to old stuff.

Tina liked 10 years younger after the EMDR treatment!!

So happy for them to get their life back.

If its important to you my advice: Keep a few cherished items but for all the other stuff, take pictures, put them in an album you can sit down with and look through to remember. Then you won't fear forgetting certain events or items. Interesting they say the trauma kicks off the hoarding(often a death) and people can't let go...but they can't let go because they aren't allowing their self to grieve. Everyone dies. There's nothing wrong with holding onto SOME things from loved ones. Heck I have 4 or 5 things my best friend left here(in the same spot) his last visit here. Then he killed himself.. But I don't hoard everything that has meaning for my entire life. There MUST be a neurological reason some people react this way and others do not. Please don't judge people.

I've underdone EMDR for PTSD and it works miracles!

I love Stelios. He truly cares for these people and you can see it. He's so gentle and sympathetic with them.

The mantra of every hoarder. There are things of value, you can just throw it all. If it was valuable, it wouldn’t be in a trash heap in the first place

So proud of the Mom

They are so moving. I hope they are well and feelin less weight on their shoulders ♥️

The best one I heard is " I'm leaving it for my kids" - They'll appreciate that

Stelios says the secret is to take it in your own pace, don’t rush! I love him!

Is it just me or did Tina's mother look quite young compared to Tina's father?? Tragic, I hope she gets the closure and peace she deserves

Childhood memories and gifts; I decided to keep one large plastic bin of what I call ‘small stuff’. Instead of keeping big things, I kept the small ones. Each wrapped in paper or cloth, carefully laid in this single bin. Now, as I get gifts from family, I display them for a while, then as I get new things, I keep the small items, carefully wrap them in cloth and add them to the bin. The larger items I donate. My plan is one day, when I’m old, I can go thru the bin and remember each item, cherish them, then wrap them back up and put back into the bin. It fits in my closet under my hanging clothes. It’s an idea for hoarders to keep memories of life without filling an entire room.

Society should be thankful to these people. They provide economic benefits to all kinds people except themselves. So selflessness of them. They spend relentlessly without a reason, they provide steady jobs to those professional counselling, professional cleaning, not to mention the skip rental, less garbage to the landfill etc. Hail to the hoarders…

Rachel is so lovely to help her mom.

I watched a RU-vid video of a lady who had just been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and had no family left. She was burning letters and photos she had kept from her entire life, and that actually broke my heart.

I almost started to cry when she found her mums coat, not for her, but for all of the cute animals who where killed for that coat (now dusting away in a closet)

"There's no god around here!" I loved it!

I think I have the opposite obsession. I am such a minimalist and get satifaction from throwing something away everyday.

I don't like how she yelled at her daughter like that. I can't care how right she might feels. She should at sorry

Zoe and Alison are magical, very lovely people

What a beautiful outcome -- for both these lovely women. I like the slow and attentive way Stelios brings out the best in them.

Some people really live in the past. Its absolutely incredible. We all like to have memories and relive good times that passed, but for these people it just makes them blind for what lies ahead. And the more they cling to their memories the more they distance themselves from the future. Its like they stop to live in the moment and stop to make future plans. They have nothing to look forward to. They just make it worse.

How Tina tackled the wardrobe... She is just so amazing. What a beautiful soul.

When everything is finally cleaned up every single home is always stuck in a time warp. They look like museums.

What kind of thyroid condition would stop someone from physically emptying their house, as it says at the beginning of the video ??? Having myself thyroid issues, I just don't get it.... Dr. Kiosses is so kind and smooth and efficient...! He is amazing!

Inviting family members to help them clean… who thought this was a good idea??? They’re the main trigger for panic because they’ve been living with it and they have all the negative emotions… WHY???

The daughter left behind!!! Each of these brave persons have transformed amazingly, but that dear girl is fortunately still very young and she will have a happy future! Good show, we can all get healthy with astute therapy like that. Compassion 👍

I watch for the therapy that gives you tools to cope with hurtful things in your life, helps you to understand how to deal with yourself and keep going forward in a healthy way

What’s great is they are doing it themselves instead of other people cleaning it out.

I'm surprised the kids haven't just moved to the other end of the country and changed their phone numbers.

Gosh they do it so much better than the American version of this show. This one takes a good amount of time and they work with a therapist right from the start. In the states they throw cleaners and junk dumpsters at them and force them to clear out in 48 hours. Then follow up with mental health services.

That daughter is a nicer woman then me..."Take that bag there." I would have told her where to go.

People from London verses Americans is so different with emotions, It’s so interesting

the more the house got fixed up the more she got fixed up.

So wonderful that these ladies got their lives back! 💕

I LOVED this episode. What amazing transformations!!

The one thing that’s strange I know the mental illness makes them do this but if they can’t get into a room for 8 years or 20 years and they want to keep items even though they haven’t used or touched it in years or decades They have no idea where things are or what it is so how can it matter ? I also feel so bad for the children of hoarders

Love the daughter coming to help her mum

The dog is the best ❤️

I like the Dr. He is like magician with a lot of tricks.

The best method is to put everything in a warehouse to see the whole mess and sort the clutter!

I don't recall what the program was but it frequently advocated taking photos of your "memories". An album takes up much less space and your memories are on your mind/heart, not your fingers.

I love to see them at the end enjoying the people they were driving away in their clean home!

Hoarders are also just humans who need professional help. They're traumatised people dealing with a lots of psychological pain. Hoarders are very sad, suffering, heart-broken, human beings, who have lost joy, happiness and control over their lives over time carrying lots of emotional trauma. ... No-one has the right to judge. People can get very bad mental health conditions by traumatic life events. No-one would like to be a hoarder and live in a cluttered, dirty, house. They're (in my opinion strong*) humans who need kindness, hope and help from trauma informed professionals. *Strong because they hold so much pain for so much time and didn't choose suicide but hoarding instead. We should have respect and understanding for them. Like most people who are carrying trauma they want to be seen, heard and understood. They need help, they need kindness, politeness, hope, new dreams, social life, friends, family, structure, a new life...and that's not easy. They have to find again what they've lost. And that's hope and happiness in the first place. So that they can let go of all that clutter and begin a new life. To the people who don't understand hoarding: Just be kind and respectful towards those people who hoard Otherwise you just make it worse. Please don't hurt those people they're hurt enough. They need trauma therapy.
