This is Cory's website so of course he is the expert. I look forward to his new publication(s).
I think the main key in working with a hoarder (once you have read up and checked online for information and stories), is to approach a hoarder on a nonjudgmental, friendly basis. Many do not recognize that they are even hoarders, and some use any other word rather than "hoarder," rather than label themselves, regardless of what they hoard. The goal is to eventually get a hoarder to have some awareness that there is a problem, and have the hoarder become open to taking some initial steps.
It's a slow and laborious process, including quite hard physical labor. Further, most hoarders end up isolating themselves from other people more and more.
