Body Dysmorphic (BDD) Disorder Treatment in Melbourne and via Online Counselling
Do you have body dysmorphic disorder, also known as BDD? If you have a negative body image, this can impact your life and your overall wellness. Therapy can help you regain control and change the way you think and feel --- in a good way.
Contact me – Adam Szmerling. I can help you overcome BDD. I’m a psychotherapist that is trained and skilled in many areas and with my help, you can stop harmful negative body image from plaguing your life. I can work with you at the clinic in Brighton or you can get assistance by doing online counselling from home with internet-based chat. Above and beyond counselling, I also recommend downloadable BDD hypnosis recordings to help you in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Which ever way you decide to get help, taking that first step is the most important and while getting help may seem like a difficult step, you’ve already taken a big step in the right direction by looking for information.
Stop BDD, body dysmorphic disorder from controlling your thoughts and impacting your physical and emotional health!
We can work together and you can overcome BDD!
Common symptoms of BDD or distorted body image include: preoccupation with a perceived imperfection (such as weight, a facial characteristic) or a physical trait. Some with this disorder develop anxiety disorders or eating disorders along with the BDD. The cost could be: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem , relationship issues, social isolation, and self loathing. The result could be that you are afraid to socialise, live with constant paranoid feelings about being judged or mocked, and that you begin to sink into what feels like an abyss of deep depression. It doesn’t have to be this way. For those who have body dysmorphic disorder, even making drastic appearance changes such as plastic surgery, weight loss, or another physical change doesn’t typically help for very long. You need to overcome the disorder by changing your thoughts so that you can change the way you feel….permanently.
How long will BDD treatment take?
Treatment can take a few sessions or more and while most see results quickly, no two people (and therefore no two treatment methods) are alike. Whether you need three or thirty treatments, it’s important to get the help you need. I tailor your treatments to your situation and to your progress. We may include one or a combination of humanistic person centred therapy, mindfulness therapy, dream work, NLP, Hypnotherapy and other such methods in an effort to discover the best method for you to help you discover lasting inner peace and true joy in life.
