My father in law is a hoarder. I would like to try and understand what is behind it. He cannot throw anything away because he thinks "he might need it" in future, or it's "too good to throw away". I have suggested he use ebay to get rid of it or FreeCycle but he procrastinates and doesn't do that either. He cannot get into his own garage because it is full of stuff he doesn't need. He cannot get into his own bedroom because of piles of unused stuff everywhere. He sleeps in a small back bedroom.
He talks about doing all kinds of things in his life, but never does them. He just talks about it in a wistful way.
I would like to understand causes, has Stefan addressed this with anyone? I would like to listen to the podcast or watch the video if he has.
Thanks!
