‘Virtual reality’ therapy a new way

Article by David Johns.

A NEW type of therapy using virtual reality to treat conditions ranging from depression and anxiety to stress and sleep disorders, has been set up in Applecross.

Vision Counselling owner Katie Larkin said the therapy worked via an audio-visual head-mounted display in which the patient sees images on a screen.

“It induces an extremely deep state of relaxation. It’s a very new and exciting thing we’re doing.”

The therapy can also be used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder, pain management, weight disorders and addictions.

The technology uses techniques such as psychology, hypnosis, deep relaxation and meditation.

Cost is about the same as a therapist would charge for a 90-minute session. Log on to www.visioncounselling.com.au for information.

Counsellor Katie Larkin shows Community journalist David Johns the technology.

Coping with Stress, Anxiety & Depression

Virtual Reality Therapy now offers you assistance in dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. Our Coping Program is run over 6 weeks and designed to modify your negative self beliefs and replace them with positive coping strategies at both a concious and subconcious level.

In our Virtual Reality environment you will become deeply relaxed and can be more responsive to positive suggestions which encourage better coping strategies to deal with stress, anxiety and depression.

This is a drug-free approach to treatment for stress, anxiety and depression. Our clients have reported that this method of therapy is a deeply relaxing and pleasant experience.

Guided REM

To support and consolidate the Virtual Reality Therapy process, a Guided REM™ CD has been developed.

During the Coping Program, posthypnotic suggestions are paired with auditory cues. These are also used in the Guided REM™ CD. These cues reactivate suggestions for relaxation and can assist you in the process of creating a new and healthier style of coping. The process of guiding dreams during REM sleep was also designed to improve your sleep quality and reduce the traffic of your inappropriate thoughts.
