207: Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Body Image and the Comparison Trap with Robyn Stern, LCSW

In this episode I’m discussing Body Dysmorphic Disorder with expert and therapist Robyn Stern, LCSW. We discuss what BDD actually is and what the symptoms are; how BDD differs from having issues with body image; the effect celebrities, photoshop and social media filters have on body image and BDD; whether altering one’s appearance is classified as BDD; how to recover, and so much more.
