{"product_id":"9780615820644","title":"Digging Out: How to help a hoarder","description":"***WINNER OF THE BELLAONLINE BOOK AWARDS. BEST SELF HELP GOLD AWARD 2014.***\u003cp\u003eToday, hoarding is recognized as both a symptom of other conditions and a syndrome of its own. Our personal experiences with family hoarders taught us about the tremendous emotional toll it takes on those who live or love hoarders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike the hoarding therapy that is depicted on popular television shows, we learned that the emergency clean up is not the time to begin a hoarder's therapy. In fact, involving the hoarder in the initial clean up can be detrimental to his recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe do not approach the necessary and ongoing treatment required for a hoarder to overcome his hoarding tendencies but we have learned how to ease the mind of a hoarder during an emergency clean up as we created a safe, healthy and happy living environment for him when he is unable to establish this for himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis booklet is not for the hoarder who may take offense at the recommended bail-out steps but for those who love and live with one. We hope our experiences can help you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Real Life Help Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47019119509744,"sku":"9780615820644","price":5.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780615820644_p0.jpg?v=1763599621","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780615820644","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
