Virtual Reality treatment

Virtual reality therapy can help with screen addiction in several ways:

1. Exposure therapy: A therapist can use virtual reality to gradually expose a patient to digital devices and screens in a controlled environment. This can help desensitise the patient to the stimuli that trigger screen addiction, making it easier for them to cope with using screens in the real world.

2. Mindfulness training: Some virtual reality programs can help teach mindfulness and meditation techniques. This can help patients become aware of their physical and emotional responses to screen use, making it easier for them to recognise when they are becoming addicted and take steps to stop.

3. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT is a type of therapy that helps people change negative or unhealthy thought patterns. Virtual reality can be used to simulate situations in which a patient might normally use screens, allowing them to practice CBT techniques in a safe and controlled environment. Overall, virtual reality therapy can be a useful tool in helping people break free from screen addiction and develop healthier habits around digital devices.
