Understanding AUDHD

Join Bernie Wright for a focused and reflective 46-minute training exploring body image, body dissatisfaction, and body dysmorphic disorder. This recorded session supports professionals in understanding how body image develops, how it is shaped by psychological, social, and cultural influences, and how it intersects with mental health, neurodivergence, and eating behaviours.
This training highlights the often unseen impact of language, media, and external pressures on body image, while offering a clinically grounded perspective on body dysmorphia, reassurance-seeking behaviours, and lived experience.
 
What You’ll Learn:
 
Body Image Explained
Understand what body image is and how perceptual, emotional, cognitive, and behavioural aspects interact to shape how individuals experience their bodies.
Body Dissatisfaction and Body Dysmorphic Disorder
Learn to distinguish between body dissatisfaction and Body Dysmorphic Disorder, including key indicators, prevalence, and clinical implications.
External Influences and Internalised Beliefs
Explore how media, filters, cultural messaging, and everyday comments contribute to negative body image and self-criticism.
Neurodivergence and Body Image
Examine the links between body dysmorphia, ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivity, and self-esteem.
Clinical Awareness and Reflection
Develop greater awareness of reassurance-seeking cycles, body-focused anxiety, and the impact of words and behaviours on children, adolescents, and adults.
