Exposure is a vital component of treating anxiety and phobias so clients can face their fears and take control of their lives.
But no matter how much you try to prepare them, many clients are too frightened to face specific anxiety and panic inducing situations and scenarios on their own. And accompanying them is expensive, time-consuming, creates confidentiality risks, and is often impractical.
Virtual Reality (VR) is a major advance in anxiety treatment that lets your clients face their fears and anxieties head-on in a safe, practical way that leads to faster results and gives clients and clinicians the ability to control, gradually increase the intensity, and repeat exposures in ways that are impossible in real life.
Now you can have clients fly in virtual planes, drive virtual cars, stand at virtual heights, or speak to virtual audiences while you monitor and coach them at each step!
Watch licensed psychologist and Virtual Reality Treatment pioneer Elizabeth McMahon, PhD for this one-day training as she makes VR completely accessible, understandable and useable for all clinicians regardless of their skill with a computer! From the technical to the clinical, Dr. McMahon will put it all within your grasp so you can use VR in your own practice working with anxious clients in-person or via telehealth!
