The topic for Ep. 33 of “Shining Light on Shadows: A Candid Conversation About Mental Health” is Body Dysmorphia. Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a mental health condition characterized by an excessive and distressing preoccupation with perceived flaws in one's physical appearance. Tori Frafjord is our guest. Both Tori and my co-host, Dawn Helmrich Neuburg, will talk about how this has had a huge impact on their lives.
We will be live Thursday, July 31 at 7 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. CT / 4 p.m. PT. If you can’t watch the live show feel free to watch the recording on the same links.
