Duration:70 minutes
Topic Introduction:This course focuses on common cognitive distortions in body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), including "judging people by their appearance", "catastrophic thinking", "mirror anxiety", etc., and through cognitive reconstruction training, guides you to view your body in a more peaceful and realistic way.
○ Common cognitive misunderstandings and transformation exercises
- Selective attention:Always focus on the parts that you are not satisfied with and ignore the overall picture.
- Catastrophizing assumptions:Think "others will laugh at me when they see this defect of mine."
- Appearance is value:Use "appearance" as the basis for measuring one's entire self-worth.
- Practice transformation:Every time you identify a cognitive misunderstanding, try using the "evidence refutation method" or "balanced thinking method" to conduct alternative thinking training.
▲ AI Interaction: Let’s identify your “body cognition trap” together
Many times, we fall into catastrophic, all-or-nothing thinking, as if one shortcoming equals "total negation."
Please try writing this thought down and ask yourself: Is this a fact, or just my worry?
Find at least three pieces of evidence that challenge the irrationality of this idea.
Then write a gentler alternative: "I'm not perfect, but I'm still worthy of love."
Conclusion: When cognition is corrected, the burden on the mind will be much lighter.

Cognitive errors are like off-key musical phrases that keep us stuck. Play a slow piano piece to help you slow down.

Color Therapy: Color Mandala - Thoughts and Ideas 02
A drop of blue falling from the center represents tranquility. Let it spread outwards, like the breath of water. If life is too noisy, let blue envelop you. It will bring you back to a quiet rhythm, as if the ocean is gently swaying in your heart.
Blue is the rhythm that allows the heart to settle down again.

○ 702. Identifying Common Misconceptions about Body Ecstasy: Journal-Based Guidance Suggestions
① Capture three automatic thoughts: all or nothing, magnifying shortcomings, and mind reading/over-speculating, and write them down one by one.
② Make an “evidence table” for each thought: support/refutation/uncertainty, list 2-3 items for each, and separate facts from emotions.
③ Substitution sentence practice: "What I see may not be the same as what others see."
④ Choose the most offensive thought and reduce its certainty (from 100% to 60%/40%).
⑤ Record the change in emotional intensity after replacing your thoughts. Even a decrease of 1 point is worth affirming.
⑥ Conclusion: Thoughts are not mirrors, but filters; I am learning to change lenses.
