Many of us have some form of body dysmorphia, and so we can all relate to this episode. Societal pressures make it almost impossible not to contend with a disorted perspective of our personal appearance. Ruth Kalai, LCSW works with young professionals whose bodily perceptions often indicate a representation of some other aspect of unhappiness, anxiety, or failure. Learn a cognitive-behavioral technique that can ease the suffering that comes with this disorder. Ruth also shares her personal struggles with body perception and normalizes the "obsession" we share with physical appearance. Check out more about Ruthie at Ruthiekalai.com
