Hi #OTalk, my name is Orla. I am studying my #OccupationalTherapy MSc at @teesOTuni. My dissertation has received ethical approval (today!) to interview occupational therapists on their perceived role of occupational therapy in compulsive hoarding.

@orlatheot @OTalk_ I see a bit from my dad... as he does collect quite a bit of stationaries. And since my family and I got to the US, we have been buying a good bit of stuff off rummage sales. Aside from finance, sometimes that can also impact how we use the home space occupationally. #otalk

Hi all. Good topic for your research @orlatheot . I've come across it during home visits on placements #OTalk

@gra_carley @Keirwales @beckycooper___ @KarenIvey I wonder if it is also an occupational justice issue as well. Maybe people don’t feel that they can make end’s meet with just welfare checks or social security payments (in US). #otalk

@ot_saz Totally agree #Otalk
grainne carley @gra_carley
On home visits in inpatient physical health pre discharge we've requested de cluttering as 'necessary' for safety around the home, but I think its may be a case of :covering yourself' & doesn't consider the persons wishes #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@RRule_OT @orlatheot @OTalk_ If it is autism, can definitely be related to their obsessions! #otalk

The local council had funded a hoarding officer to assist with extreme cases - like u say due to the fire hazards #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@ot_saz @Keirwales @orlatheot @OTalk_ The US intervention show, though, the ending is not always a happy one. The after blurb might show these people have relapsed. #otalk

RebeccaC.OT @RebeccaCus
I know that when I have to have a clear out I suddenly can't bear to part with anything. It takes a lot of effort to do and often drains me mentally and emotionally. Can only imagine what hoarders go through when told they have to get rid of stuff! #OTalk

I agree, an occupation in itself. I am sure those who hoard can identify the good, the bad and the 'ugly' with this 'occupation'. Just like all addictive behaviours. Moving forward or considering change is not easy when months turn to years, then to decades = lifestyle #OTalk https://t.co/C3GUSjWkeX
