Explore innovative therapies and resources for Body Dysmorphic Disorder, led by a globally recognized expert.
In a world obsessed with image, millions are silently drowning in a condition that most people - even professionals - don’t understand. Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) affects more than 1 in 50 people, yet it's often missed, dismissed, or mistaken for vanity.
Young people are spiralling into compulsive mirror-checking, self-isolation, cosmetic procedures, and even suicide - while clinicians follow a protocol written over a decade ago.
We live in an age where your body is always on display - where filters, algorithms and hypervisibility feed an epidemic of shame, perfectionism, and self-erasure. And yet... the world still treats BDD like a mirror problem.
BDD is not about beauty. It’s about pain.
Discover how our innovative BDD D.E.F.E.N.C.E Model™ is changing lives.

"Try not to think about it."
"Isn't everyone a little bit 'OCD'."
"Just stop obessing"
"You look fine to me."
Referred for CBT* or SSRIs** —because that’s the ‘gold standard’
Cosmetic procedures that never address the root.
Mirror avoidance, safety behaviours, endless checking. - You mask it. You shrink. You question your reality. But nothing’s really working - and no one’s connecting the dots...
