Welcome back to another exceptionally professional episode of Two Tired Therapists! This week, Kyle and Jackie take a deep dive into the world of hoarding with a focus on the show Hoarders and the complexities of Hoarding Disorder. Before your favorite therapists get into it, Kyle, ever the purveyor of unique insights, is tired of people using their families, and specifically kids as an excuse (childless people unite!). Meanwhile, Jackie is tired of everything becoming a meme.

In this episode, your Two Tired Therapists tackle the reality TV phenomenon of Hoarders, dissecting what it reveals about hoarding behavior and the underlying psychological issues at play. They explore the symptoms and treatment options for Hoarding Disorder, drawing on both personal observations and professional insights. At the end, Jackie quizzes Kyle on what color his personality is.
