Delivering VR Exposure TherapyLesson 13 of 32
In What Cases Has Virtual Reality Made Exposure Therapy Easier or More Effective?
1:44
Kim Bullock, MDClinical Professor, Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Stanford School of MedicineLesson summary
VR makes exposure possible for feared situations you simply can't stage — contamination, fear of vomiting, and flying phobia, where repeated real flights are impractical. By replicating hard-to-access cues over and over, clients get the repetition they need, and many say they don't know how they'd have recovered otherwise.
Key learning points
- Hard-to-recreate feared situations
- Repeatable cues for flying and contamination fears
- Faster habituation through repetition
