Virtual Reality (VR) therapy

Virtual Reality (VR) therapy uses immersive technology to create realistic environments where individuals can confront and manage their mental health challenges. By donning VR headsets, patients can experience controlled scenarios related to their fears or stressors, such as public speaking or heights, in a safe space. This technique helps them practice coping strategies and reduce anxiety. Additionally, VR therapy can facilitate exposure therapy for conditions like PTSD, enabling individuals to process traumatic memories while being supported by a therapist. Overall, it’s a modern approach harnessing technology to improve mental well-being.
