We all can be a bit self-conscious about our bodies and appearance from time to time.
But sometimes we can end up fixating on our own perceived flaws to the extent that they almost feel debilitating. That is common with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) or body dysmorphia as it is also referred to.
And it is a genuine mental health condition that can cause a massive amount of distress for sufferers, and something you should seek out professional help for.
Body positivity encourages embracing your body as it is, perceived flaws and all.
While it is not there to be a magic fix or a cure for BDD, changing your approach to how you view your body can at least help you address some of the emotions that BDD can cause you to feel.
So in this episode I am taking a look at body dysmoprhic disorder, body positivity, my own slightly twisted experience with each, and how you can use body positivity to help with body dysmorphia.
The transcript and corresponding blog post for this episode are here. And the NHS guidance on body dysmorphic disorder can be found here.
