This will aid in you being able to understand where she is coming from on her feelings.

Thanks. I'm reading The Broken Mirror which is about BDD, but I'm not far along. According to what I've read, BDD can be a coping mechanism, but I really don't understand how that can be. We talked about bringing it up with her therapist and I think that will help.
