Hi, Yoda,
I've watched several episodes of the show. For some reason, I find this program hard to watch through whole episodes, because it's so painful for the family as well as for the hoarder. I've also seen one show where animals were taken away, at least some of them, but the woman really didn't even know how many she had, and some were found dead. I also saw one program where a house was condemned and to be torn down after removing all the clutter because it was found to be in such bad shape.

I am not telling you this to try to dissuade you from participating in the program, but from what I've watched, it is a very traumatic process for the hoarder to have to let go of all the stuff. That's why they have the social worker and the psychologist, and also for the family members.

If you decide to participate, I say go for it, and I hope it will be all positive for you.
