After making progress in overcoming BDD, it is common to feel nervous about relapse. In this webinar Dr Georgina Krebs and Kitty Wallace will discuss strategies that can be used to help prevent relapse. They will also discuss how it is common to experience setbacks, and what can be done when these occur. Although lapses and relapses can be demoralising, it is important not to lose hope. With the right techniques and support it is always possible to get back on track.

Meet the Speakers
Dr Georgina Krebs is an Associate Professor at University College London (UCL) and co-leads the Anxiety, self-Image and Mood (AIM) Lab, focusing on body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) research in young people. She has published around 90 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters, primarily on BDD. As an Honorary Consultant Clinical Psychologist, she co-leads the AIM Clinic, an NHS service specialising in BDD for young people. Trained at King’s College London, Georgina worked over 15 years in a specialist clinic for youth with obsessive compulsive and related disorders, where she also led clinical trials in cognitive behaviour therapy.
Kitty Wallace is Head of Operations for the BDD Foundation and has been in this role since 2018. Kitty has lived experience of BDD, receiving a formal diagnosis at the age of 19. After a period of treatment and recovery, Kitty worked in the wholesale designer fashion industry, working in a managerial role for the largest fashion agency in the UK. However, in her late 20s she suffered a devastating relapse in her BDD, which sowed the seeds of her passion for becoming involved in the Foundation, first as a fundraiser, then as a trustee and finally in the role she is in today. She feels passionately about raising awareness of this disabling condition, and building a sense of community for those suffering.
