Height
Fear of heights is one of the most widespread specific phobias. Those affected live with the permanent stress of being confronted with heights in everyday life. Holiday or business trips become a torture. With this scenario, you can achieve quick and lasting success in treating this phobia, which in itself is very easy to treat.
Description of the scenario
The patient is standing on a terrace of a high-rise building. In front of him/her, there is a walkway which extends a long way out. The patient can walk forward on this walkway and look down to the left and right. As an alternative to walking by themselves, the patient can teleport to different points on this walkway. The therapist can also change the height of the walkway and use other features.
The therapist can control the following features in this scenario:
- Selecting the floor level between 1, 3, 8, 20
- Switching on city sounds on the lower floors
- Switching on wind sounds on the upper floors
Idea:
In the real environment a board can be placed on the floor, which the patient steps on to, in order to have a tangible feeling in the virtual experience.
