What is a Body Image Disorder?
For the person experiencing body image disorders, it can at times be debilitating. You may excessively worry about perceived flaws in your physical appearance and begin to develop routines or behaviours to deal with the worries you have about the way you look. Body Image Disorder can cause other problems such as isolation, anxiety, depression, self harm and disordered eating.
What is a Body Dysmorphia?
Body Dysmorphia is an anxiety disorder related to body image. You can experience obsessive worries about how you look and fixate on flaws that may not be visible or noticeable by anyone else. This can develop into compulsive behaviours like picking your skin or unrestrainable use of mirrors.
Treatment
When we are struggling, help in the form of counselling will always create the opportunity for new insights and personal growth. Some of these changes can be lasting but for some, a few sessions of counselling gives temporary relief for a few months until trigger points are experienced again and old habits come flooding back.
The Flourish programme is a yearlong therapeutic programme, consisting of talking therapy, coaching and teaching, developed specifically to help teens and young adults recover themselves from emerging issues around distorted body image, guilt, perfectionism, obsessing about food, their weight and their place in society.
Flourish is tailored to suit the individual, working with their needs and later, their interests and areas of growth.
Get in touch with us today to start your journey to recovery.
