Understanding Body Dysmorphia and Our Approach at Healing Our Parts Group Psychotherapy Practice
Body Dysmorphia, also known as Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), is a mental health condition characterized by obsessive preoccupation with perceived flaws or defects in physical appearance. At Healing Our Parts (HOP) Group Psychotherapy Practice, we understand the distress and impact that body dysmorphia can have on individuals' mental health and quality of life. That's why we are dedicated to providing compassionate support and effective treatment for those struggling with this challenging condition.
​
Our approach to working with individuals dealing with body dysmorphia is rooted in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based interventions. We offer a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their concerns about their appearance, challenge distorted beliefs, and develop healthier coping strategies. Our licensed therapists specialize in body dysmorphia treatment and utilize techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), mindfulness-based approaches, and acceptance-based therapies to help clients reduce their preoccupation with perceived flaws and improve their self-esteem and overall well-being.
​
At HOP, we recognize that body dysmorphia often co-occurs with other mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. That's why we take a comprehensive approach to treatment, addressing not only the symptoms of body dysmorphia but also the underlying psychological, emotional, and environmental factors that contribute to its development and maintenance. Our goal is to empower individuals to develop a more balanced and compassionate relationship with their appearance, cultivate self-acceptance, and live more fulfilling and authentic lives.
