Module 2: What keeps BDD going?
Overview
This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions explains how Body Dysmorphic Disorder is maintained through unhelpful appearance-related assumptions. It targets clients by illustrating how past experiences shape rigid 'if...then' beliefs that perpetuate distress. The text defines these cognitive mechanisms without offering specific therapeutic protocols or efficacy claims.
