Presenter Jasmine Harman Opens Up On Living With Her Mum’s Hoarder Battle | This Morning

Presenter Jasmine Harman often wanted to keep her mother's hoarding struggle a secret from everyone else growing up, but in recent years, the pair have opened up about Vasoulla’s battle. Vasoulla sees a therapist for her hoarding and was told how her behaviour started when she was just six. As hoarding behaviours are on the rise, the pair are joined on the sofa by Jo Cooke, Director of Hoarding Disorders UK.

Always thought Jasmine was a fantastic presenter and now I think she is a fantastic person and also her lovely Mum, Dermot and Alison are the best 😊

Jasmine is such a kind caring daughter

hoarders should never be abandoned just because but should be considered a person needing help and can be cured buy love and compassion or elses we be left more broken 😢 grateful for this i never knew i had in my family i could never understand my father and myself till i was able to educate myself thru media people coming out cause its really the shame that bothers me

[mariameere]

I am a hoarder myself.

I honestly don’t know what triggered mine but I suffer from Autism as well which has traits which that cause Hoarding such as intense interests.
It is a constant uphill battle.

This was a great topic, and, it's great Jasmine has compassion and understanding of her Mum. This will hopefully help alot of people.

I have a sister who is a hoarder whose hoardings started with a death of our mother.I can't tell you the sadness I feel, I for my wonderful sister. It really breaks my heart. She refuses any help or to get help. So there is nothing we can do.

I’m 30 and living with my hoarding abusive mother. Who’s only made my life worse and I feel like I’ve lost allot of my years go because I’m trying to help her

[kathywilson]

I’d be interested to know if grown up children of such hoarders grow up with their own issues because of how they have grown up. I still have a reaction 😅 if the doorbell goes unexpectedly and I’m very tidy and minimalist.

Objects around you create a safe feeling and that you are in control x

No mention of the father of her kids. It's always just about her and her 5 children!

I always liked jasmine.. watching her for years on a place in the sun.. and I saw the documentary on her mum’s hoarding..

[CatsandJP]

What a horrible comment Alison made about not being a bad person…that was totally uncalled for and below the belt…she should stop and think..but obviously she is one person who’s mouth goes off before engaging her brain…she does it quite often and it is rude….but then she is one of the rudest presenters on the show to begin with…

Shaming her own mother in public. Classy.

I understand and empathise with hoarders, I don't understand the filth.
