Hoarding can be a trauma behavior. Their can be many more reasons for becoming a hoarder. There is also more than one way of hoarding. It is more a spectrum than a set standard behavior.
When you grow up in poverty, you keep something because it will most likely be the only one of those things you will ever get. You may not need it now, but if you do later, youre fucked. So you keep it. Best case? You share “the things” with people you can trust and build a mutual aid network of friends that help each other, but by god you make sure you can get to “the things.”
It’s no wonder people being exposed to constant trauma do protective things. You could even say it’s a reasonable response.
hoarding is a trauma behavior
