Manage episode 404601882 series 3512302
I never imagined that my own battle with body dysmorphic disorder would lead me to share such intimate details, but here we are, peeling back the layers on a condition that's far more than skin-deep. With my partner's unwavering support, we delve into the realities of BDD, contrasting it with narcissistic traits, and shed light on the importance of recognizing this spectrum of disorder. In our first chapter, "Understanding Body Dysmorphia and Dysphoria," listeners will journey with us through the challenges and societal pressures that shape our self-perception, as we dissect the impact of our fixations and the supportive role loved ones play in the face of dysmorphia.
The conversation takes a holistic turn as we consider the unexplored benefits of chiropractic care for mental health treatment. Could this ancient practice hold promise for modern psychological challenges? We explore this potential alongside traditional treatments, including those for BDD, emphasizing a multi-faceted approach to wellness. Then, we pivot to a fascinating piece of history—Saints Sergius and Bacchus, and their unique standing in the Catholic Church. Their enlightening story adds an unexpected layer to our vibrant discussion, encouraging an open-minded view of inclusivity through time. Join us for an episode that offers not just insight, but a community of support for anyone grappling with body image and mental health.
