Lesson summary

VR is far more than video games: clinically it spans the anxiety disorders — specific phobia, social phobia, panic and generalised anxiety — and reaches into depression, PTSD, eating disorders and mindfulness-based relaxation. Whatever a client's triggers, you can find a VR experience that fits, giving access to a far broader range of exposure practice.

Key learning points

  • Works across anxiety disorders and beyond
  • Also supports depression, PTSD and relaxation
  • A fitting experience for almost any trigger
