About this episode

Dan Joseph shares his journey of recovering from body dysmorphic disorder and finding self-acceptance.

For years, Dan Joseph's life was governed by his BDD and a strict set of rules and rituals designed to camouflage his perceived flaws. Today, he truly believes it doesn't matter how he presents to people. And the next day is no longer to be survived, but to be lived.
