This book isn't just about finding peace with your reflection-it's about finding peace with who you are.


Body dysmorphia is a significant issue among gay men, driven by societal masculine ideals and rigid beauty standards. The pursuit of a 'perfect' body can lead to obsessive behaviours, harming both mental and physical health.


Daniel O'Shaughnessy knows this struggle firsthand. Having battled extreme dieting, excessive exercise, and steroid use, he combines personal experience with his expertise as a nutritionist and mindset coach to offer guidance. This book explores why body dysmorphia is so prevalent in the gay community, unpacking its psychological roots, providing practical tools to reshape self-image.


Through personal storytelling, professional guidance, and practical exercises, Healing from Body Dysmorphia is a roadmap to helping you cultivate a healthier, more balanced approach to your body and identity that isn't dictated by the mirror.



Daniel O'Shaughnessy combines his personal experience with body dysmorphia and his training as a nutritionist and therapist to share how to tackle the unique challenges of body dysmorphia as a queer man. This book explores body dysmorphia in the queer community, and offers ways to redefine your self-image and find a balance that works for you.
