This week on the Wellbeing Lab Podcast I chat about Body Dysmorphic Disorder with Hannah Kate Lewis, who is currently studying for a PhD in eating disorder prevention and also has personal experience with BDD. It's a topic that deserves more attention and I'm pleased I've been able to shine a light on it. I also chat to Dr Helen Kennerley who is a consultant clinical psychologist and an expert in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I had really interesting conversations with both guests about CBT and I learnt a lot in this episode, I hope you do too.

I also spoke to YOU dear listener about your experiences with body dysmorphia, I really appreciate you getting in touch and sharing your stories.

Here are some useful links and resources:

Hannah recommends looking up the BDD Foundation if you're after more information on BDD.

Here's more on David Burns' Feeling Good, the book that Helen and I discussed.

And here's all the info for MY new book Be Yourself and Happier, which comes out next month.
