In this solo episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, we're exploring Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)—a mental health condition that often hides in plain sight. BDD isn't just about disliking how you look; it's a deeply distressing experience where perceived flaws in appearance become all-consuming. For many, it leads to rituals like mirror checking, avoiding social situations, or even seeking cosmetic procedures—none of which ease the internal pain for long. We'll unpack how BDD shows up, how it differs from eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia, and why it's so often misdiagnosed—especially in fat folks, neurodivergent people, and those with trauma histories. This episode offers clarity, compassion, and concrete ways to begin untangling appearance-based distress.

In episode 266 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked back in with two of our favourite guests, Danny Bowman and George Mycock. Danny and George both work in the mental health space around eating disorders, specifically Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). Danny has come on twice, in JCIP #70 and JCIP #209 respectively. He is currently in the final stages of completing a PHD at the University of Liverpool. He also previously stood as the Conservative Parliamentary candidate for Liverpool Garston in the 2024 General Election, is the Head of Communications at The Conservative Mental Health Group and a Fellow at The Royal Society of Arts. George is the Founder of MyoMinds, a platform which aims to bring awareness of a form of BDD called Muscle Dysmorphia (MD), demystify mental health for exercisers and athletes and to create an understanding future for the exercising community. He is also currently studying for a PHD at the University of Worcester, study muscularity oriented psychosocial issues in men. We wanted to get them both back on to have a different type of episode and one which we hope can be a blueprint for how to address an ED, treat it and recover from it. We also sprinkle in some ideas about how we can improve the conversation and the system to support those living with EDs. We will navigate this episode through three stages of an eating disorder: what it is and what it looks like, the treatment path and the recovery stage. There are not enough positive recovery stories out there and Danny and George are shining lights in how one can navigate these stages and help others at the end of it.

In episode 228 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with George Mycock. George is the Founder of MyoMinds and a mental health advocate for awareness of Muscle Dysmorphia (MD). MyoMinds mission is to demystify mental health for exercisers and athletes and to create an understanding future for the exercising community. Through research, public talks and their podcast, they work with universities, schools and other public institutions to change the conversation around Muscle Dysmorphia. In this episode we discuss George's experience of Muscle Dysmorphia, which some listeners may know by the term ‘bigorexia'. Muscle Dysmorphia is a form of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), which is defined by: “Being preoccupied by worries that one's body is “too small” or “not muscular enough” despite having a normal build, or in many cases, an objectively extremely “buff” physique.” It can cause the person to create obsessive rituals, behaviours and a mindset that can cause serious psychological distress. In its most extreme form, it can also put that person in extreme danger physically and mentally. George began experiencing MD after he suffered a spinal injury when he was 13 whilst he was playing rugby, a sport he loved and which he had built his identity around. He was told never to play rugby again and was signed off school for a year. After he returned, he suffered an identity crisis and began exercising and bodybuilding heavily in order to rebuild his identity. Unfortunately, through this, he developed MD (which hasn't been officially diagnosed) and eventually got to the point where he became suicidal and was only saved because by a coincidental miracle. One of his best friends happened to visit his house and she supported him, listened to him and encouraged him to seek professional support. He did that, worked through the issues the MD had given him and has now changed his life, founded MyoMinds and has done some brilliant advocacy work. This includes participating in a LadBible roundtable on Eating Disorders, which included friend of the pod Danny Bowman, Miles Nazaire's Channel 4 documentary on muscle dysmorphia and many other pieces of work. In this episode we discuss his mental health journey, from avid rugby player, to obsessive bodybuilder and now mental health advocate, how he built his self-esteem pyramid through therapy, what ‘vulnerable narcissism' is and how we can spot the signs that someone may be experiencing muscle dysmorphia.

In this raw and real episode, Dr. Roberto Olivardia dives into the challenges and triumphs of raising children with ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning differences. The struggle is real, and sometimes parents feel helpless and overwhelmed when navigating these difficult waters. It's like trying to build a bridge without the right tools. What dads and parents want is to feel empowered, well-equipped, and supported in creating an environment where their children can thrive despite their differences. They want to know they are not alone in facing these challenges and that there is a way to support and champion their kids for who they are. In this special episode of The Dad Central Show, hosts Ed Gough Jr. and Drew Soleyn talk with Dr. Roberto Olivardia who shares his experiences and wisdom on parenting children with neurodiversity. Here are three big takeaways from the conversation: Empowerment through empathy: Understanding and meeting children with ADHD and dyslexia where they are at is crucial for moving forward. Parents can lean into learning and understanding about their child's condition and provide unwavering support. Medication and stigmatization: Medication for ADHD is a tool, not a sign of failure. It can help individuals manage their condition and is an important part of the solution for some. Parents need to understand and not stigmatize the use of medication and work with healthcare professionals to find the best approach for their child. Celebrating differences: Dr. Olivardia shares practical strategies, such as role plays and highlighting successful individuals with similar challenges, to empower and encourage children to embrace their differences and build self-esteem beyond academic success. This episode will provide valuable insight and understanding of how to approach and champion children with learning differences. All parents can benefit from the conversation by gaining practical strategies and heartfelt stories to connect with their kids and support them on their unique journey. We appreciate all the listeners of The Dad Central Show and hope this episode brings guidance and comfort to parents navigating the world of neurodiverse children. If this episode resonated with you, please take a moment to review, like, and share it with other parents who may benefit from this invaluable discussion. As Dr. Roberto Olivardia said, "Understanding and meeting children where they are at is crucial for moving forward." Take the time to connect with your child, understand their needs, and champion their uniqueness. It's a journey worth taking.

On episode 197, we welcome Roberto Olivardia to discuss the Adonis Complex and muscle dysmorphia, how men become obsessed with becoming more muscular, whether the obsession is about attracting a potential mate or something else, Leon's personal history of muscle dysmorphia and Alen's past preoccupations with his body image, the importance of focusing on underlying values and highlighting better strategies in treatment, the distorted thinking and perceptual errors involved in body dysmorphia, why the therapeutic relationship is just as significant as the actual CBT work, creating a more nuanced self-concept for self-esteem, and healthy ways of maintaining a positive body image. Roberto Olivardia, Ph.D., is a Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Instructor of Psychology at Harvard Medical School. He maintains a private psychotherapy practice in Lexington, Massachusetts, where he specializes in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), executive functioning issues, and issues that face students with learning differences.

"I don't know anyone with ADHD who doesn't have trouble with sleep," says Guest Expert Dr. Roberto Olivardia, kicking things right into gear for this week's podcast. Along with eating and general impulsivity, sleep is a top complaint Olivardia hears from parents of the kids he works with. It's important to know that it's not kids being difficult that causes the problems. Research shows that, for many with ADHD, their circadian rhythm can actually be offset, which makes it hard to fall asleep. Roberto Olivardia, Ph.D., is a Clinical Psychologist and Lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He maintains a private psychotherapy practice in Lexington, Massachusetts, where he specializes in the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and in the treatment of eating disorders in boys and men. He has spoken on numerous podcasts and webinars and presents at many talks and conferences around the country. He currently sits on the Professional Advisory Boards for Children and Adults with ADHD (CHADD) and the Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA). He also serves on the Scientific Advisory Board for ADDitude and is a Featured Expert for Understood. Top 12 Tips To Help Your Complex Kids Got complex kids? Yeah, so do we.

How do codependency and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) relate? How can our over-reliance on approval from others lead us to disapprove of our physical flaws? How do those with body dysmorphia develop codependent traits (pleasing, sacrifice, obedience) to their disorder? In this episode, Marissa sits down with Rachel Koutnik, LCSW, to talk about the interconnection between codependency and Body Dysmorphic Disorder. Rachel shares with us her own definition of codependency, body dysmorphia, then opens up about her experiences struggling with both. Rachel describes how those with BDD often rely on others, sometimes becoming codependent, for feedback that they aren't as ugly, disformed, or unattractive as they worry they are. We conclude with initial steps Rachel takes with her clients to help them combat their codependent and BDD. About our guest: Rachel Koutnik, LCSW, is a holistic therapist in private practice in Los Angeles, CA. She works with teens, adults and couples.

More deets from the episode: How does Rachel define codependency? “When I think of codependency, I think of the person that's trying to be a caretaker, the person that puts the needs of someone else above their own, and, over time, they disappear. They get stuck in a cycle of giving rather than receiving.” Rachel expands and connects Body Dysmorphic Disorder: “when a person is controlled or manipulated by someone who is dependent on alcohol, a drug, etc.” Rachel describes how individuals with BDD can be manipulated by their disorder and end up controlled. Can Rachel please share some codependent experiences from her own life? “I myself have a diagnosis of BDD and have been struggling with it for 20 years now. When I didn't know I had BDD, I was in a totally codependent relationship with my mother.” Rachel shares how, in that relationship, she was more dependent and her mother was codependent and enabling her illness. Rachel went to multiple doctors, purchased products, underwent procedures, and on and on. Her mother, in her own way, enabled and paid for it all. Unfortunately, no matter what Rachel and her mother did, she was never content with the changes she got for her body. Rachel opens up about codependency in her dating and intimate relationships where she was very “giving” to partners. “I would try to appear high-functioning and be very pleasing to what they wanted from me.” Marissa asks Rachel how, looking back, she would have described those relationships at the time. Rachel states “normal.” She acknowledges how she learned best from her upbringing how to interact with others and then happened to repeat that in her romantic relationships via codependent behaviors. What is Body Dysmorphic Disorder? What contributes to its development? “When you have a minor flaw, or a perceived flaw, and you develop obsessions and compulsions to cope with anxiety about the flaw.” Rachel gives multiple examples of asking others for their feedback on the flaw, mirror-checking, touching the flaw, taking hours to get ready in the morning, wearing items to cover the flaw, undergoing procedures to address their flaw, and become “really hyper-focused” on the flaw that they perceive as a deformity. Rachel aids us by describing BDD on a spectrum where, at one extreme, an individual can be in “a delusion” about their flaw, and, at the other extreme, have some worry about a particular flaw but are not deluded by it. Marissa asks about contributing factors. “Attachment struggles with their primary caregivers.” Rachel describes how there is a disconnect between the individual and their primary caregiver who was not there for them emotionally in the way they needed them. Narcissistic parents, alcoholic parents, abuse, etc. and the lack of attachment “gets focused inward.” Rachel helps us by sharing about what attachment issues are and how they lead to “distrust and the world seems scary...our emotions seem really big.” How are BDD and codependency interrelated? How are they not related? “A lot of times the person with BDD is really insecure. There's shame, insecurity, and a desire to be wanted, liked, loved, etc.” Rachel shares how an individual with BDD can shift their focus in: how can I be lovable? Then they overcompensate and put their partners above themselves. Rachel differentiates BDD and codependency since, we all have been insulted/teased/bullied, but someone who develops BDD “internalizes that.” Yes, another person is involved since they pointed out a physical flaw, but those with BDD “take it and run with it” by internalizing and becoming hyper-focused on the physical flaw that was pointed out. Rachel adds how “people with BDD can almost be in a codependent relationship with their BDD.” She shares how, instead of trying to please, appease, and tend to another person, an individual with BDD can “prioritize” the needs of BDD by constantly being stuck in their obsessions and compulsions. They place the needs of their BDD over their own needs or the needs of others. Rachel describes her BDD as “an abusive partner that lives inside of herself.” What strategies help people with BDD manifest healthier relationships? “You have to know you have BDD.” Rachel discusses ways that individuals can determine if they have BDD and the severity of their symptoms. Next, treatment involves therapy - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - in conjunction with exposure and psychiatry. With this combination, Rachel describes how individuals with BDD are empowered to really question their thoughts, beliefs, and responses to those thoughts. She helps her clients question their assumptions, endure exposures, combat their negative thinking, etc. so they can break free from the BDD. Rachel adds about the need for self-compassion in healing from BDD. She emphasizes how, due to the intense self-hatred that often comes with BDD, she integrates self-compassion via mindfulness, self-kindness, and common humanity. By practicing self-compassion, she witnesses her clients feeling better and sensing how they deserve it! This breeds more self-confidence and empowerment thanks to being kinder to themselves. Rachel differentiates self-compassion - what do I need to feel safe, soothed, to take care of myself right now - and mindfulness - what am I aware of and what do I see? How does Rachel's BDD support group help adults struggling with BDD and codependency? “Biggest thing is BDD is something people struggle with alone. The biggest part of healing is getting out of isolation and not being alone.” Rachel's group addresses that by providing individuals with a group to combat their disorder with the help of herself as the leader and others as peers with BDD. “Being seen is an exposure and sharing about what it is you're going through, receiving feedback from others, and clinical feedback from me” is the unique recipe that Rachel offers to help her members. Rachel allows time for members to talk about their wins, struggles, and get the support from others. “Different people are in different places in their healing.” Rachel describes how group members help others get out of toxic relationships, develop their self-worth, and self-belief since they encourage each other without fostering codependency in the group format.
