More and more psychotherapy practices are turning to VR therapy to specifically treat fear of heights. With the help of virtual reality technology, a safe, controllable environment is created where patients can confront their fear – effectively, realistically, and without any real danger.
According to an analysis by the German Center for Dizziness and Balance (DSGZ), around 28% of the population show signs of visual height intolerance – dizziness or instability when looking into depth.
Crucially, about 4–6% of the population suffer from such severe symptoms that they are considered treatable acrophobia. This corresponds to approximately 3.4 to 5.1 million people in Germany – a significant patient potential for your practice or clinic.
VR therapy represents a modern form of exposure therapy. In the virtual space, patients can be confronted with their fear of heights without having to face real danger situations.
Your benefits as a therapist or practice:
High acceptance among patients through realistic yet controlled confrontation
Individually controllable scenarios – therapists maintain control at all times
Low entry barrier: no real heights required
Reduced dropout rate and high effectiveness according to studies
Safe integration into existing treatment concepts
This is how patients can be gently and effectively introduced to anxiety-inducing situations – a true advancement in digital psychotherapy.
Our specially developed height scenario is part of the smart system for private practices and is ideal for treating acrophobia with VR therapy.
What your patients can expect in the virtual space:
A realistic scene on the terrace of a skyscraper
A narrow bridge seemingly leading into the depth
Independent movement or targeted teleportation
Looking down triggers the phobic reactions
Optional: a synchronized wooden plank in the practice for additional immersion
This system has been specifically developed for psychotherapeutic applications and enables you to offer a cutting-edge form of therapy with clear relevance to practice.
