Exposure to feared situations remains a pillar of the treatment of phobias. However, reproducing these situations in consultation is not always simple.
A traffic jam, a crowd or the altitude of a building depend on an external context that the practitioner cannot control. Their intensity varies, their identical repetition is rarely possible, and certain situations expose the patient or third parties to a real risk.
Virtual reality makes it possible to recreate these situations directly in the office, in a controlled environment that can be reproduced from one session to the next.
The C2Care environments allow you to recreate the situations specific to each phobia: driving on a highway or in a tunnel, gaining height in a building, crowds in a public place, or confinement in a subway or an enclosed space.
The practitioner chooses the scene adapted to the objectives of the session and adjusts its intensity in real time according to the patient's reaction. Exposure can thus be repeated and intensified gradually, at a pace that in vivo does not always allow.
This work focuses on habituation to phobic stimuli, as well as catastrophic thoughts and automatic avoidance associated with the feared situation.

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

With the acquisition of new equipment [...] and updates to the C2Care programs, its use has expanded even further: OCD, phobias, addictions, anxiety disorders, depression, and PTSD. Ten years later, it is no longer merely a curiosity, but a genuine therapeutic tool that is stimulating, innovative, and effective.

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.

Virtual reality can enrich and personalize treatment, facilitate patient-therapist collaboration in developing the treatment plan, and add a playful dimension. The possibilities for development and application are immense and extend to every area of psychology and psychotherapy.

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.
Dre Marie-Claude Roberge
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.
