Description

1 Virtual Reality Exposure Psychotherapy Session for Anxiety Management contains 2 parts:

01. Relaxation through Rhythmic Deep Breathing – 20-minute Session

This exercise aims to help you learn and practice rhythmic deep breathing. This type of deep breathing helps slow down your heart rate and makes you feel calmer and more relaxed.

The goal of this exercise is to bring relaxation to your body by inhaling slowly, deeply, and steadily. The more you practice it, the faster your body will respond when you find yourself in stressful, frustrating, fearful, or angry moments, or when you cannot control your cravings for drinking or smoking. Deep breathing is the best way to reduce stress levels in your body, sending messages to your brain to calm down, which in turn sends messages to your body to relax.

It is a tool that has proven very effective in reducing stress, anxiety, anger, and in managing increased cravings from addictions.

02. Autogenic Training – 30-minute Session

This technique uses both visual imagery and body awareness, leading the person into a state of deep relaxation. In a relaxing setting with a flowing waterfall, this guided autogenic training exercise aims to help you learn how to enter a state of deep relaxation through mental awareness of your body, using visual imagination, and focusing on the state of relaxation and calm.

Autogenic training means consciously controlling the way you think and having control over how your body feels, using only your thoughts, eventually gaining control over your reactions to stressful stimuli.

The more you practice, the faster your body will enter the state of relaxation when you do this intentionally, and it can improve your ability to manage stress, anxiety, panic, cravings, and anger throughout the day.
