Virtual reality allows you to gradually confront certain difficult situations, in an immersive, controlled and reassuring environment.
The C2Care environments can be used independently or as part of support with a professional, depending on your needs and situation.
Flying, entering an elevator, being in a crowd, driving, public speaking or facing certain situations can cause high anxiety.
In real life, these situations are not always easy to reproduce at the right time or to approach gradually.
Virtual reality allows you to recreate these situations in an immersive way, so you can confront them step by step, at your own pace and in a controlled setting.
You can choose the situations you want to work on and gradually increase their level of difficulty.
For example, you can virtually find yourself in an airplane, a crowd, an enclosed space, behind the wheel of a car or in a social situation.
The goal is to help you better tame your reactions and anxiety, in order to progressively feel more comfortable when you encounter these situations in real life.
THE ADVANTAGES OF IMMERSION
Virtual reality makes it possible to create, rehearse and adjust scenarios in an immersive, controlled and progressive environment, while maintaining control of the exposure.

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.

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.
