Not only is having a negative body image difficult but if not attended to, individuals can develop Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). Those with BDD struggle with similar concerns such as preoccupation with flaws and a distorted perception of their features, but they also engage in compulsive behaviors and avoid social situations due to shame and disgust. They have such a distorted view of their body that is considered extreme by others. Examples include getting a nose job to fix their nose that wasn’t “too big” in the eyes of others or having a healthy (or even below healthy) Body Mass Index (BMI) and considering themselves to be fat.
Holding a negative body image can quickly begin to affect one’s mental health. Body image issues have been linked to anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and eating disorders. It is crucial to seek professional help if you are experiencing any of these mental health concerns in addition to body image issues.

Dr. Alexavery Hawkins
Psychologist, PhD
I help people with body image concerns create flexibility as they heal their relationship with their body and move away from thin ideal/diet culture so they can soften their perfectionism and live a more full and joyous life. I also enjoy addressing gender dysphoria in treatment and helping clients find ways to affirm their gender identity and start to see and appreciate their true selves.
