Hoarding Discard Plan

Structured sort, timed sessions, no re-acquisition

TherapistAssist logo

Hoarding-specific planning: not a marathon purge, a structured sort with clear categories, timed sessions, and no re-acquisition rule. Support person recommended.

Session structure (60–90 min max)
  • One zone at a time — measured in square feet, not rooms
  • Categories: keep, donate, discard, undecided (max 10%)
  • Undecided pile leaves the house within 48 hours
  • No re-acquisition for 30 days
  • Photograph, don't keep, sentimental items
