SUMMARY:
Fear… we
need fear, without fear he thinks we won’t survive a day, but talk about these
people that fear high, fear flying, their fear is not helpful anymore, they hit
them in their everyday life. In these cases we start to talk about a disorder,
and this is not that uncommon. Statistics says that more less than 20% of the
people might have this disorder, during the life time. And what happens to
these people? They try to avoid the situation they are scared of. However, if
you look in a therapy what people do, it’s the opposite, confrontation, expose
people to routine their fear, but it could be costly.
The
community he is working with is a cyber therapy community, and they thing the
solution is exposing people in fear. They’re not the only one working on this,
so in Spain there is a group that is also work with this kind of things.
The next
one is panic disorder; in this case people might think they have a panic attack
which means that they think they are suffocated and a have a heart attack, now
they include in the virtual reality the sound of the heart and the breathing. They
use this also to soldiers that are afraid of bombs and terrorist attacks.
Studies say
that 70% of patients prefer virtual therapy than normal therapy.
PERSONAL REACTION:
I would like to try this method... because spiders scare me. And it's really interested to use virtual reality to learn how to afront our scares. I hope that our country has centers where try this type of therapy, it would be cool.
