Hey there. I'm Drew and you are listening to or maybe watching the anxious truth.

This is the podcast that covers all things anxiety, anxiety disorders and anxiety recovery.

So if you're struggling with issues like panic attacks or agoraphobia or OCD or health anxiety or

body dysmorphic disorder, as you can see in the caption below me if you're watching on YouTube,

then this is the place for you and I'm glad that you're here today.

Today on the podcast, we have a special guest. Robin Stern is a licensed clinical social worker

and a licensed psychotherapist here in New York and other states as well that specializes

in treating body dysmorphic disorders and other related anxiety disorders.

other states. She focuses in her practice on body dysmorphic disorder and body focused repetitive

behaviors and OCD. She is really nished down and she's become quite a advocate and a voice for

body dysmorphic disorder and related disorders. She had a lot to say on this today and I think that

it actually ties in with the topics we're talking about all the time. So this is well worth
