BDD is not just quote being vain, which is, you know, I hate when I hear that, because BDD is a very serious issue and again understudied.

In this episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast with DocSnipes', Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes sheds light on this often misunderstood condition. BDD isn't just about being self-conscious; it's a deep-rooted belief that some aspect of one's appearance is flawed, even when it's not. Dr.
Snipes breaks down the prevalence of BDD and its common co-occurring issues like anxiety and substance misuse. You'll gain insights into how BDD impacts the brain and learn about effective treatments such as pharmacotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Dr. Snipes explains techniques like exposure with response prevention and anxiety habituation, which can help individuals manage their symptoms. She also shares practical tools like breathing exercises and distress tolerance activities that can make a real difference.
But it doesn't stop there. The episode also delves into the social challenges faced by those with BDD and how the pandemic has exacerbated these issues. Whether you're a counselor, a mental health professional, or someone looking to understand more about BDD, this episode offers a comprehensive guide to better understanding and supporting those affected by the disorder.
