Challenge distorted perceptions of your appearance by focusing on evidence that contradicts negative beliefs. Engage in activities that promote self-acceptance and appreciation of your body, such as mindfulness, self-compassion exercises, or body-positive affirmations. Limit exposure to triggering images or situations that exacerbate BDD symptoms. Seek support from a therapist specializing in BDD treatment to develop coping strategies and address underlying issues.
