Body image disorder or otherwise known as dysmorphic disorder is where a person believes there is a flaw or defect in their personal appearance and body. This may lead to distress and /or repetitive thoughts and or behaviours that may greatly affect their quality of life.
If you have body dysmorphic disorder, you feel a part of your body is unusual or deformed, so that you feel ashamed, distressed or depressed.
These feelings may affect your wellbeing and prevent you from living a normal life.

Thomas Reiner Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Diploma of Counselling (AIPC)
My approach is to explore the distinction between body and body image. What usually follows is a conversation about how my clients' body image is informed by friends, family, colleagues, imaginary others, and what we see around us, including what appears on screen and social media. At a deeper level, we inquire into the origins of my clients' concerns around their body.
