Lesson summary

Any client who needs exposure therapy is a candidate for VRET, and those who have struggled or felt unmotivated in the past often benefit most because VR removes many logistical and safety barriers to graded practice — enabling successes with fear of flying, needle phobia and claustrophobia that clients never thought possible.

Key learning points

  • Suits clients stuck with traditional exposure
  • Re-engages unmotivated or hesitant clients
  • Set clear expectations and a strong rationale
