Beating BDD Podcast #36 – Dan Joseph

“Recovery begins the moment you allow yourself the possibility that life can be bigger than your rituals.”

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. In this episode, Dan speaks with remarkable openness about his experience and why spontaneity is now a defining marker of his recovery.
