Online psychologist for Body Dysmorphic Disorder
Please note: our sessions are held in Italian only.
Body dysmorphic disorder is an obsessive preoccupation with perceived physical flaws that are invisible or appear minimal to others. It leads to constant mirror checking, comparisons, and often unsatisfactory aesthetic procedures.

- Constant comparison with others and seeking reassurance

How online therapy can help
Cognitive-behavioural therapy is the most effective treatment: it helps reduce checking rituals and correct the distorted perception of one's body.
Book a first sessionFrequently asked questions
Is the mirror the enemy?
It is not the mirror itself, but your relationship with it. In therapy, we work specifically on the checking rituals.
Does cosmetic surgery solve the problem?
Often not, because the issue is perceptual: therapy works to address the root cause.
