Exposure to situations related to eating or body image can be relevant in supporting patients suffering from an eating disorder. However, reproducing these situations in consultation is not always simple.
Taking a patient to a supermarket or in front of a mirror depends on an external context that is difficult to control, just like the presence of third parties. The practitioner cannot either freely dose the intensity of the food stimuli or vary the silhouette perceived by the patient.
Virtual reality makes it possible to recreate these situations directly in the office, in a controlled and reproducible environment.
The C2Care environments allow you to recreate situations associated with food cravings, such as a supermarket aisle with pastries, sodas and candies, or trays containing various food stimuli.
A virtual body adjustable by BMI also allows the patient to be confronted with their real silhouette, to work on dysmorphophobia and distortions linked to body image. The composition of e-meals, with feedback on nutritional values, adds to this exposure work.
The practitioner adjusts the progression of these situations throughout the sessions in order to work with the patient on thoughts, emotions and automatisms linked to food and the body.
VRET
The practitioner seats the patient on a swivel chair and fits them with the virtual reality headset
Using the control interface, the practitioner selects the environment suited to the session's goals and starts the exposure.
During immersion, the practitioner supports the patient using a visual feed and can adjust the exposure scene in real time
Environments
C2Nutri reproduces several food and body situations for graduated exposure.
Rays of pastries, chocolate bars, sodas and candies reproduce the tempting situations encountered on a daily basis, for work on food craving.
Various platters and aperitif biscuits multiply the food stimuli to which the patient applies the therapeutic strategies taught by the practitioner.
A virtual body adjustable by BMI allows the testing of silhouettes in virtuo, to assess dysmorphophobia and correct cognitive distortions linked to body image.
The composition of e-meals with immediate feedback on nutritional values helps with the evaluation and reintroduction of prohibited foods.

I incorporate this technology into brief therapies lasting two to four months, with one session per week. I begin with relaxation techniques and, when patients are ready, we proceed. It makes it much easier to expose people to these situations.

For several months, we have been using virtual reality in habituation therapies. Before the procedure, patients are progressively and immersively exposed to their future medical environment and psychologically prepared to accept it.

Doctor of Psychology
Since 2022, we have been using virtual reality therapy with the C2Care platform to simulate exposure to aversive stimuli and triggers that cause anxiety. Exposure therapy is used to treat specific phobias, including fear of heights, enclosed spaces, flying, dogs, emetophobia, and many others.
