Battling Body Dysmorphia

COLLABORATIVE STUDIOS
About this episode

Today Clodagh is joined by Keith who very bravely shares his Unspoken with us. Keith’s story centres around the body dysmorphia he has experienced since being an incredibly self conscious 12 year old boy standing on the edge of a swimming pool in his swim shorts. Keith speaks to Clodagh about how incredibly debilitating this disorder has been for him and of all it has heartbreakingly held him back from in life.
