We've all got stuff that needs to be gotten rid of (ahem, those candles in the pretty color that you won't throw away even though they're really done, or that skirt that it would be so nice to fit into), but some people are a little bit more, shall we say, intense about keeping stuff than the rest of us.

Enter Peter Walsh and the second season of his show, Extreme Clutter, in which he takes on the truly tough cases, from people who keep so much in their homes that they're "ashamed to open the front door" to those who insist that they don't have hoarding problems (even though they really do). In the first episode (clip below), Peter charges head on into one woman's overstuffed home. She’s paralyzed—unable to let go sentimental items—and she’s one of Peter’s toughest challenges. Find out the key lesson he taught that helped her find the way out of the mess.
