VR Therapy Isn’t Just Emerging; It’s Validated

Courage Isn’t the Absence of Fear

💡 Courage doesn’t mean you’re not afraid.

✈️ Whether it’s turbulence, a high ledge, merging onto a freeway or having a medical procedure — your body may panic, but your courage is in *showing up anyway*.

You are not your heart rate. You are not your sweaty palms.

🧘‍♂️ Breathe. Be present.

What would it look like to take one small step toward achieving control today?

A recent APA article brings attention to virtual reality’s growing use in therapy.  https://www.apaservices.org/practice/news/psychologists-uses-virtual-reality

What’s exciting for us at the Virtual Reality Medical Center (VRMC)  is that this isn’t just emerging—it’s validated.

In a landmark study published in Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking (now in its 28th year), we demonstrated the power of VR therapy for fear of flying. Our 3-year follow-up showed patients retained their progress with no relapse. https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/109493103322278844

That kind of long-term success is what guides our daily work at VRMC. We use immersive VR, physiological monitoring, and clinical protocols to treat phobias, anxiety and stress-related disorders—turning research into meaningful recovery.

From science to support—VR therapy is here to stay.
