The..graphics..are..creepy

[@donharris8846]

Exposure therapy is possible using actual reality

[@georginajovanovic]

Moggie! Please VR facing the neighbour's barky dog for cat ptst will help

[@21razzor]

This isn't really being used effectively to treat anxiety but it seems to be useful for phobias, I guess.

[@jarhead3571]

Phobias give you anxiety. This gives exposure to the phobia.

[@becauseofjulian123]

It's been effectively used to treat social anxiety and phobias, but not GAD

[@Competitive_Antagonist]

It's a bad title. It's so uplifting, though. The idea of gaming being used to really help people, other than just take the edge off after a hard day, is really fascinating. Unfortunately, misophonia is almost impossible to treat with exposure therapy and may even make it worse, but that appears to be the go-to strategy for it.

[@Competitive_Antagonist]

@@becauseofjulian123 Because that's not a response to a trigger, or at least the trigger isn't currently known.

[@livelyfuture1199]

Very interesting, especially since I never saw or experienced Virtual Reality. Any one else that had no experiences yet?

[@AlfSama]

[@expressenglishtraining]

In what countries is this software available for psicologysts?

[@richardmaloney6452]

I have qualified as a hypnotherapist recently and I think this therapy and hypnosis totter could pertintcially help people in a lot of ways. Id really like to experiment with a course of hypnotherapy and this method. Its hard sometimes for people to envisioned a place or a stair way for example when given hypnosis and I feel this could help people with expanding there senses and opening up the unconscious. Making those important changes in a persons life . Hannah Maloney

[@georginajovanovic]

Where is it? Can I get to try it?

[@sebastianalegria3401]

i think the new technologies have could make our lifes much easier than before, as for example treats the stress

[@adammistina2836]

My hands are sweating already. All of my phobias are extreme so I really doubt exposion therapy would help.

Youzak Hunt How?

[@ahappierworld8819]

Please, I would really like to know how! I have that problem..

[@concretelightbulb7082]

What happens when someone falls from that high up in VR? Would the sensation of falling in VR cause a person to fall to the floor for real? Heart attack?

[@FlowmasterStang]

Concrete Lightbulb Actually, I think that would be fun to do. Just for thrill/shock seekers like me.

[@boogermaiden]

Yes.

[@Nipponing]

Heart attack? WTF?

[@MrSquareart]

great story!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@benjones2776]

Psychology and therapy all in all is a very complicated and intellectual way of telling the person they are stupid and irrational and if they don't get better, it is their failing, the therapist or psychiatrist never gives a refund or admits to failing.

[@HammySammy]

Rubbish!

[@jasontang9192]

She know she is still standing on ground tho. She need to be on some high place where there is a danger too in reality and this look boring even for me who have fear of high.They need improve or else when they really get on real high ground they will feel the fear of danger.

[@scimatarpictures]

Fascinating

Virtual Reality can be helpful in multiple scenarios. There is an amazing Virtual Reality Experience that you can have a look at here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/en-uh6OAj6qsi5Y

[@mr.illuminati143]

[@justagoodguyccc4351]

maybe you didnt try? or trying to be funny?

[@Chrisallengallery]

"I would never do this in real life." Makes the experiment pointless, don't you think?

[@George-sc4yh]

Devil's Advocate No

[@tyrmyrmidon2846]

I'm a bit socially anxious and being continually exposed actually helps diminish the effects. It's still there but with each experience I become more resilient

[@0121doone]

Could virtual reality help treat anxiety? NO

[@matthewlake182]

Yes, it can. Do you you have a Rift or Vive? Ever used VR social apps like VRChat?

[@0121doone]

Yep, all a load of bollocks.

[@jamesgrey785]

Could exposure to fake news help treat mental illness?
