Virtual Reality Therapy

You can’t seem to shake it.

“Why does that issue keep bothering me?”

Memories are powerful. They can pop up at any time, leaving us with emotions we don’t know how to overcome. They can interfere with the life you are living today as well.

Thoughts and feelings of past painful events and traumas get sent up to the brain and remind us of past events and increase the reaction we have that may be disturbing. This disturbance makes it challenging to lead the best life and version of ourselves.

Moving forward requires resolving those issues.

Virtual Reality Therapy helps address a wide variety of challenges.

What is Virtual Reality Googles (VR)? Here’s a Google definition. VR is a technology that allows immersion into virtual environments. More than 25 years of scientific research have validated VR’s use in mental health.

VR allows more effective interventions for lots of conditions. Unlike imagination techniques that cause the client a lot of effort but yield only minor results, VR helps resolve what’s bothering you.

We adapt the virtual environment to the needs of each person.

Virtual Reality Therapy improves confidentiality because the exposure is inside the therapist’s office, and clients prefer it because it is less intense than traditional in vivo exposure.

Here are some testimonies about VR’s effectiveness.

Jim* said, “I was terrified to get my blood drawn. I would shake, sweat, and feel like I was going to get sick. VR helped me so much – I can get my blood drawn with no problem at all.”

Sally* said, “Oh my! I was terrified to fly in a plane, so much so that I missed many family events, travel, and fun. VR allowed me to be in a fictitious world with the safety of being in my therapist’s office. After several sessions, I’m able to fly without any issues!”

Karen* said, “I’m so stressed out and could not seem to get my brain to relax. VR therapy allowed me to enter into relaxing environments to help me feel better.”

Ben* said, “I had full-blown panic attacks every time I took a test at school. After several sessions, I’m now able to feel calm, cool, and collected when taking tests.”

Virtual Reality Therapy has many uses.

Like Sally and Jim, VR helps many clients overcome many different types of fears and phobias.

Social settings can cause anxiety, especially when public speaking, competing in sporting events, or dealing with intimidating people. Like Ben and Karen experienced, VR can help you learn to relax and stay calm in such situations.

Stress and trauma can impact you emotionally and physically, resulting in anxiety and depression. VR helps you process events that keep you from the life you want. VR also enables you to overcome addictive and eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and insomnia.

In short, VR is a proven method that helps create a different mindset for dealing with emotional, behavioral, and physical issues that many of us encounter throughout our lives.
