good or bad advice?

[askandParticipant]

When I went for help for bdd, advice from therapist was just to keep a journal of thoughts and actions related to bdd. If I write down and monitor it, things will get easier and I’ll be able to hate myself less. Is this good or bad advice? Should I tell my parents and friends for support? What should I do?
