The reflection in the mirror is unrecognisable and the bombardment of beauty standards on social media is screaming that you ought to look different, how can you love your body? Picking, prodding and poking are dished up in this episode in order to understand the effects BDD can have on our psyche and on our bodies. Reconciling the void between the mental and the physical has always been a challenge, and joining us on the journey to self-acceptance are three special guests. Samantha Carolus, an aerobics instructor who is changing the way we understand our bodies, Shay Visser, a person who has struggled with body image issues aims to bring the male perspective into BDD and Danielle Harris, a counsellor who gives keen insight into the many facets of BDD. Join us for the season finale in our quest to be more Mindful.
