During Your First Virtual Reality Therapy Session:

Assessment : The therapist will begin by conducting an initial assessment to understand your mental health issues, symptoms, and personal goals.

Equipment Setup : Once the therapist has gathered the necessary information, they will help you put on the VR headset and set up the equipment. They will also instruct you on how to use the equipment and the software.

Simulation : The therapist will then guide you through the virtual reality simulation. The simulation will depend on your specific needs and goals. For example, if you have a fear of flying, the simulation might involve a virtual airplane ride.

Gradual Exposure : During the simulation, the therapist will gradually expose you to the feared stimuli or situations. This exposure can help desensitize you to the fear and help you learn to manage your anxiety.

Feedback and Debrief : After the simulation, the therapist will provide feedback on your performance and help you understand how to apply the skills you learned in the virtual environment to the real world. You may also have time to debrief and process the experience with the therapist.
