Module 4: Reducing Checking & Reassurance Seeking
Overview
This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions addresses Body Dysmorphic Disorder by explaining how checking and reassurance-seeking behaviors perpetuate appearance-related distress. It outlines common behaviors such as mirror gazing and seeking validation, distinguishes between helpful and unhelpful levels of these actions, and provides worksheets to help clients reduce reliance on these cycles.
