Product Description
Checking and rechecking oneÂ’s appearance in the mirror may be more than mere vanity Â— it could be a sign of Body Dysmorphic Disorder. This condition can lead to unnecessary plastic surgery, serious eating disorders, steroid abuse, even suicide. The BDD Workbook offers a proven intervention plan and personal stories, exercises, charts, and worksheets to help readers recognize distorted self-perception and develop a balanced self-image.

A Workbook That Actually Works!

I was diagnosed a little over a year ago with BDD. It is still highly unrecognized, even in the mental health field. I was misdiagnosed for years; thus, I received improper treatment.

This workbook really delves into the thought processes of a person who suffers from this exhausting illness. The worksheets and exercises really cause you to challenge the beliefs which have been engrained in your memory for decades.

I would highly recommend this workbook for anyone who is looking to become stronger without the use of narcotics.

At last...

As a parent of a BDD sufferer, I was pleased to read through the workbook before presenting it to our family member. If read and followed, it should help with any one in BDD's grip.

A good start when not ready to seek help

I've already read this book twice, it's a very good support when I feel overwhelmed by my body obsessions, its best point is that it made me feel that I'm strong enough to gradually change. Everytime I doubt I read some specific passages to put be back on the track.

INFORMATIVE

Although I have just started reading the workbook and starting the exercises, it seems like it could help with BDD. I think this would be helpful to those with BDD or a similar condition.
