<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>If you are living with, are close to, or are yourself someone who is hoarding, you'll know <br>that the disorder goes far deeper than most people realise, affecting the whole family and <br>presenting huge challenges to the physical, mental, emotional and even financial <br>wellbeing of anyone involved. <br>Jo Cooke is Director of one of the UK's leading support services for people affected by <br>hoarding and clutter, and has written this sensitive and empathetic book to help anyone <br>experiencing hoarding difficulties. She gives insight into Hoarding Disorder - explaining <br>what it is and, importantly, what it isn't - and what may trigger hoarding. There are <br>strategies for how to assess the scale of situation and lay the groundwork to address it, <br>and insights into who can help and how they can do it. <br>An 8 step-plan gives practical steps to tackle the hoarding, supported by suggestions for <br>what to do with the 'stuff', and advice on safeguarding - as well as techniques to support <br>the hoarder as they attempt to stay clutter-free. There is space in the book for individuals <br>and their own stories of hoarding, giving an empowering voice to people affected by the <br>condition, and replacing the morbid curiosity that often accompanies it. <br>With plenty of information on resources and therapies that can help, this is a warm and <br>hugely practical guide that can only help anyone affected in any way by hoarding.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jo Cooke is is director of Hoarding Disorders UK and an accredited member of the <br>Association of Professional Declutterers and Organisers (APDO). Her previous career <br>included working for various charities and the Civil Service. <br>
