Ideh
I’ve been working with Eva for the past year and have noticed a huge shift in my recovery with BDD. Her insights and knowledge have been invaluable. She has given me tools that have helped me navigate the thorny road to BDD recovery. Working with her has been extremely beneficial.

I feel really fortunate to have found someone I can talk to who has lived experience with this disorder and has come out on the other side of it. She brings a thoughtful, engaging, and tailored approach to our one-on-one coaching sessions. I feel seen and supported and I always look forward to our coaching calls. Thank you, Eva!

Fiona
Thank you so much for all the wonderful advice and those links. I shall certainly read and share as much information as I can with my son so we can work together to beat this. Thank you also for all the wonderful work you do in sharing more about the disorder and growing understanding.

Marjorie
Thank you so much. I will utilize all the resources you mentioned.  And thanks for giving me hope by mentioning your successful recovery.  It means the world to me.

Chris
Thank you, Eva, this is very, very helpful, particularly as we work on establishing my son’s treatment plan. We’ve been stymied somewhat by the long wait times for appointments, though encouraged by the resources and expertise that are available. The support groups will be helpful for my son and for my wife and I.

Thank you for putting these resources together and for being a pioneer in this critical area. This is such an important need and so under-recognized, it seems.

Wendy
One of the things that was so helpful to me in your podcast (and there were many things!) was the idea that you CAN recover from this disorder, rather than the mindset that you will always have it and just have to manage it. I am a firm believer in the possibility of complete healing from something. Not that it happens overnight or that you never think of it again, but that it doesn’t have the power over your life like it once did. I wanted to let you know I really appreciate your perspective on this — especially for someone young like my daughter, to have hope that she can recover from this vs have it the rest of her life.

Shirin
Thank you so much for the info. Congrats on your recovery. I know it is a long road and a tough one. But, you are on the other side now.

Paula
Your compassion and desire to provide guidance as we navigate the maze of US healthcare and its treatment options means the world to me.

Elaine
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful conversation and for the guidance. I am so glad I got to hear and listen to your experience, and it will take me some time to reflect on the conversation, and as you suggested, to really sit with what comes up.

Catherine
One of the things I find helpful in your article is when you say ‘I still don’t like my profile/nose. Maybe I never will, but that’s OK. I am not my nose.’ This really lifted a big weight off me as I think I stare and stare to make myself OK with it, but of course, this never happens. The opposite happens and I get more and more anxious… I’m really inspired by your story and I will keep working on the approach. I definitely have ups and downs but some days are definitely much better now and I’ve come on a lot since earlier this year. Thanks again for your story.

Anna
Wow- thank you for the resources! Bringing to light my own issues has made this journey eye-opening and has given me the feeling that there is hope for both of us (my daughter and me)
