המטופלים שלכם זקוקים לתמיכה, העניקו להם אותה עם עולם הסחת הדעת

Virtual reality refers to the 3D computer-made environments that simulate real-life environments in a realistic and controlled manner. The main virtue of Virtual Reality is that after a few minutes in an environment, it produces a sense of immersion and presence, this means that your patients will feel the same emotions, thoughts and reactions as in a real environment, but in a controlled and comfortable manner, in your clinic, or at home. Therapists use Virtual Reality to help patients face fears, build coping skills, and overcome their challenges in a safe and controlled way.  

You can offer the same high-quality therapeutic interventions, but with the added advantage of immersive and engaging virtual reality experiences that can enhance treatment outcomes. This novel approach can potentially lead to improved patient engagement, better adherence to treatment plans, and more effective results in managing mental health challenges. 

Evidence-based virtual reality is safe for most patients, aged 10 and up (according to the hardware manufacturers’ guidelines).

Patients who are pregnant, elderly, or suffering from conditions that make them prone to seizures will want to consult with their doctor before using VR.

The difference lies in the utilization of technology to enhance and streamline traditional therapeutic techniques. Virtual reality simplifies and makes therapy more efficient, enabling automation of certain processes like relaxation techniques, while still employing familiar methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy.

You don’t need to introduce entirely new techniques. Virtual reality complements existing therapeutic approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy but using technology to make them simpler and more efficient.

You’ll continue to work with your established methods like exposure therapy, response prevention, systematic desensitization, relaxation, and mindfulness, but in a simplified and technology-enhanced manner.

A virtual mental health therapist provides therapeutic support and guidance to individuals through online platforms, offering counseling, psychotherapy, and emotional assistance in a convenient and accessible virtual environment. With virtual reality, therapists can offer their services remotely or in-person.
