Body Image
This 46-minute recorded training with Bernie Wright explores body image, body dissatisfaction, and body dysmorphic disorder through a reflective, clinically informed lens. It supports professionals to understand how body image develops and how psychological, social, and cultural influences shape lived experience.
The session examines the often unseen impact of language and media, alongside key features of body dysmorphia and reassurance-seeking behaviours, with clear relevance to neurodivergence, mental health, and eating behaviours.
