I have no idea where they plan on taking this with you other than a genuine attempt to get to the source of your problem. I’ve seen the show, and it seems to be a large dose of tough love given with respect. In the shows I’ve seen, they seem to want to let the public know what an impact this disease can have on your life.
It’s “natural” not to want a stranger to enter your home when it’s not at its best, but in theory or family should love and respect us no matter what. The family portion of the program, in my opinion, is to show that this disease can alienate even those people that love us the most. The last one that I saw the couple’s adult children had not been to their home for 10 years. Only one of the couple’s combined 5 children was willing to enter the house before and during the purge. They mentioned that the other children were unwilling to come, but it wasn’t done in a way that was disrespectful, just informative, not Jerry Springerish at all.
Could any of this anger and anxiety be related to the fact that you’re going to have to face this hording issue head on? Often it’s easier to direct the anger outward and accept that you’re angry with yourself?
