In What Cases Has Virtual Reality Made Exposure Therapy Easier or More Effective?

Lesson 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 been able to do this otherwise.
