Cleaning KITCHEN of HOARDED HOME - how trauma can lead to hoarding #declutter #cleaningmotivation

Bonnie's mom here. This has been quite the project. I'm glad I could help my daughter clean.

It was My Pleasure working with you. You are such a sweetie to help this person out. I would love to come and help more. Can't say thank you enough for the opportunity. Like Bonnie says please be kind in the comments. She really needs the help. She is a sweet and kind person. Send Love and Hugs Not negative comments. 💞😍😘🤗

I’m one of those people who have a “trauma timeline”. Once things reach critical mass your nervous system basically goes into partial collapse. I actually started mysteriously fainting at random times without medical explanation. I almost had to give up driving because I’d be found passed out in car parks. Anyone standing in judgement of people like this lady have probably not walked a mile in her shoes, or they have had sufficient support around them that they were able to cope just enough to get through. I get it. The human body and psyche was never equipped to endure unending high levels of traumatic stress without periods of recovery. I’m doing much better now but my heart goes out to everyone fighting for their survival. Bonnie, you are truly a blessing to humanity.

It never ceases to amaze me how a small group of women can come together and help change another woman's life for the better. This is the definition of Girl Power! We all need support and understanding from others and this was so wonderful to see. You rallied around her and lifted her up with your help!

People really criticize how you clean?!?!! Wow I’m always in awe of what you accomplish.

Im surprised how many perfect people there are in the world that they can judge people so harshly. I think its great that people like Bonnie, Mack, and Barbie and all the others have created a community to help people.

I like watching videos like this where people are helping other people clean and declutter their homes. I feel I get inspired to clean and declutter and organize my own home

I have a friend that has hoarding issues, she allowed to help her once when her older daughter was getting married and she wanted a small Gathering at home. I couldn’t understand her, but I remain quiet and help her. She did had a couple of traumatic events in her life. Thank you for helping me understand her better.

seems this poor lady has had very little support, physically or mentally. you are an angel in disguise.

I don’t think it matters how you choose to clean as long as the outcome is the same, there may be faster methods or methods that are better for the enviroment but for messes like this… as long as it gets clean and improves the owners quality of life who cares how you get there. Thank you for being so willing to help people clean up their homes, I’m sure it brings them such relief!

One of the most important concepts you mentioned and demonstrated in this video was the idea of compassionate "companioning." Three generations of women being present to help another woman who is suffering. It used to be common in communities, but not so much these days. I was deeply moved to see it in action again in this video. Thankyou to Bonnie, Mum and Lisa.

Bonnie, thank you for being so open in sharing the isses you had in school with your shyness. Your emotion in talking about this brought tears to my eyes. 😢 I know many of your followers empathize with you. That time of life could really be challenging!! Thank you for your work and service to orhers in need!! I love watching you.💖

HUGS for Julie. Life is hard and sometimes we fall short. I stand all amazed that you were able to ask for help. And thank you to all of your helpers. Have a great weekend. ❤‍🩹

Worth the wait! Bonnie, STOP! being so apologetic about yourself. STOP!!!!! You are a force of nature, as is your Mother. The welcome addition of your helper looks like the beginnings of an army!

It's amazing that there are people who take time out of their life to watch an entire video and then make the effort to craft a snarky, hateful remark. Who has the time for such negativity?! Oh, they didn't actually watch the video? They just scrolled, saw a few seconds with an imperfect situation, made a snap judgment, and then allowed themselves to feel superior by leaving an ignorant uninformed comment. Well, I am not sure who I pity more, the person who hateful or the ignorant. Well, it's not the home owner because she's got Bonbon on her team! Great job Bonster and great job Home owner, so proud of you both.

Your helper is a very good cleaner. She is a keeper. Great Job ladies!

You and your mom are amazing and “Julie” is great for asking for help. As Mack says, even if they regress they had a period of living in a clean, orderly space. Such a blessing!

I appreciate the way in which you handled this cleaning. Hoarding is a very debilitating mental health condition.

I think you have a super power in real life Bonnie. This is going to make the home owner feel great. When you have a messy or hoarded house it really weighs heavy on your mind and self esteem. You are very inspiring! ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

The fact that you are willing to take on such a huge job with so much compassion is inspiring. That kitchen looks fabulous! What a great team effort. :)
