What we covered

Are you constantly worrying about how you look? Do you fear that others are judging you based on your appearance? Do you find yourself obsessing over perceived physical flaws or slight defects? If so, you may be suffering from body dysmorphic disorder (BDD).

BDD is a mental health disorder characterized by an excessive preoccupation with one’s physical appearance. People with BDD often experience intense anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem as a result of their condition. The symptoms of BDD can have a significant impact on a person’s life, making daily activities and social interaction difficult.

If you are suffering from BDD, it is important to know that you are not alone. There is help available to manage the symptoms of this disorder and get your life back on track. At Forest Sessions, we offer mental health professionals who can provide you with advice and support.

During a Forest Session, you will learn how to build a healthy relationship with your body and manage the symptoms of BDD. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and receive personalized advice from our mental health professionals.

Here are some tips that can help you cope with BDD:

• Practice mindfulness: Mindfulness is a great way to stay present and gain control over obsessive thoughts. Try to focus on the present moment and be aware of your thoughts and feelings.

• Stay in the present: When you start to worry about your physical appearance, try to stay in the present moment. Focus on what you are doing and try to avoid comparing yourself to others.

• Challenge negative thoughts: Negative thoughts can be very powerful and can have a huge impact on your mental health. Try to challenge these thoughts and replace them with more positive ones.

• Get enough sleep: Sleep is essential for mental and physical health. Make sure to get enough rest and practice healthy sleep hygiene habits.

• Talk to someone: If you are feeling overwhelmed, don’t be afraid to reach out and talk to someone. Whether it’s a friend, family member, or mental health professional, talking to someone can help you work through your feelings and gain perspective.

• Seek professional help: If you are struggling to cope with BDD, consider seeking professional help. A mental health professional can provide you with personalized advice and support to help you manage your symptoms.
