S4E152: OCRD Series IV, Part II: Understanding BDD: What Families & Clinicians Can Learn from Kimberley Quinlan & Chris Trondsen, LMFTs
BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder) affects millions, but quality education for both clinicians AND families has been hard to find—until now. In this episode, Nicole sits down with Kimberley Quinlan, LMFT—host of the highly successful Your Anxiety Toolkit podcast & Chris Trondsen, LMFT—to get an exclusive overview of their groundbreaking new BDD course with CBT School. What makes this course special? It offers TWO distinct tracks, a clinical training path and a lived experience family track. Chris and Kim give us a bird's-eye view of what each track covers, who it's designed for, and how this course fills a critical gap in BDD education. Ready to dive deeper? Whether you're a family member seeking understanding or a clinician expanding your toolkit, this conversation will show you what's possible when expert knowledge meets compassionate education.
