What is body dysmorphia? What can I do to better by body image and self image?

Have you ever caught yourself scrutinizing your reflection, wishing you could change just one thing about your appearance? If so, you're not alone. In this episode, Motivational Speaker Bart Walsh is tackling a topic that many of us grapple with but rarely discuss openly: body dysmorphia.

As someone who's worked in the fitness industry for years, Bart has seen firsthand how this issue can consume people's lives. he has even battled with it himself, focusing obsessively on his skinny legs due to a nervous system condition. But he has learned that our worth isn't determined by our appearance.

Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is more than just vanity or insecurity - it's a mental health condition that can significantly impact daily life. We'll explore:

• What BDD really means and how it manifests
• The difference between body image and self-image
• Why reassurance from others often doesn't help

Bart will open up about his own struggles with body image, including:

• How his focus on fitness became all-consuming
• A painful incident that made him ashamed of my legs
• How he learned to embrace his "limitation" as a superpower

While professional help is crucial for those with BDD, there are steps we can all take to improve our relationship with our bodies:

• 1. Seek professional support
• 2. Practice mirror mindfulness
• 3. Shift your focus from appearance to function
• 4. Find a supportive community
• 5. Cultivate gratitude for your body

Are you ready to choose resilience and embrace your whole self? Join me in this vulnerable, yet empowering discussion.
