Virtual Reality is an innovative tool used in mental health therapy to create immersive, interactive environments. By using a VR headset, you can enter a digital space that is designed to simulate various scenarios.
In therapy, VR is used in various ways. One way is to expose patients to controlled situations that may trigger their symptoms, such as anxiety or phobias. This exposure, in a safe and supervised setting, helps individuals confront their fears and learn coping strategies. Additionally, VR therapy can be used for relaxation exercises, learning new mindfulness techniques, coping with fears and anxiety, stress management, and improving overall mental well-being.
