Body Dysmorphic Disorder Therapy in Iowa City
When we walk around not feeling like ourselves, like every time we catch ourselves in a mirror it is met with shame, and when we constantly shame ourselves based on our body, life becomes incredibly exhausting. Luckily, we can turn things around, and we can work towards a healthy connection to ourselves.

IS THIS YOU?
What Body Dysmorphic Disorder Can Feel Like
Body dysmorphic disorder can feel like we are an imposter in our own skin. It can feel like every little imperfection, no matter how small, becomes a gigantic focal point, suffocating our confidence and our energy. Mirrors become anxiety trigger points, our body becomes a vessel for shame and criticism, and our daily living becomes one fixated on how we look.

What we do in session
We create structure where needed, learn to manage our symptoms, and create positive environments to confront the shame-based internalizations body dysmorphic disorder tends to create over time..
