So I’ve never used any BDD self-help materials before because I just couldn’t face it, but I’ve been feeling a bit better recently so I looked into it and found something.
It’s a workbook called Building Body Acceptance and it’s written by the CCI of Australia. And I’m really liking it so far! I’ve only read some of the first module and answered some of the questions on it, but it has my interest piqued and it also helped me take control of an obsessive episode I was going through.
So I just wanted to see if anyone here knew of any BDD self-help materials they’ve used that they’d like to share with this community.
Thank you :)
EDIT: Embedded a link to the workbook I was reading to make it easier for anyone interested to find
I’m so glad it’s helped you ☺️. Do you think it would be beneficial or link it in the sidebar of the community?
Yes please do, and would you consider adding the https://bddfoundation.org as well?
I visited the resource section of the site and listened to one of the videos by the experts that dealt with coping with visible flaws.
The Q&A segment was informative, made me realise how much BDD has in common with social anxiety and of course there were many helpful tips.
Yes absolutely. I’ve had a quick look at the site and it seems credible, not to mention I think I’ve heard it recommended before so it sounds like a really good idea to me :) thank you for your input!
That’s great, I’m relieved to hear all of this, you’re most welcome! Should I find anything else that seems legit, I’ll be sure to pass it along.
