Beverly Taylor was the hypnotherapist on the TLC TV “Help! I’m a Hoarder” While the show ended up with hypnosis looking like a “magic cure”, it portrayed what actually happened (no special effects other than they sped up the morning’s cleaning). Beverly has worked with hoarders with OCD, but it takes a lot longer for them to see results (e.g., 12 or more sessions versus 3 to 6 for clutterers).
