Module 5: Overcoming Negative Predictions, Avoidance & Safety Behaviours
Overview
This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions addresses negative predictions, avoidance, and safety behaviors related to body image and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). It explains how these cognitive distortions trigger anxiety and lead to unhelpful coping strategies, such as avoiding social situations or using excessive makeup. The resource provides worksheets for challenging these thoughts through experimentation and gradual behavioral change.
