VIRTUAL REALITY ADAPTS TO YOUR ADDICTION

HOME

When you are at home, alone, in the morning with your coffee and newspaper, it is difficult to resist the urge to smoke that cigarette. In the evening, with your friends, it seems impossible not to have your pack near you.
These environments will allow you to get used to these situations and make your desire to smoke disappear in your home, whatever the circumstances.

PUBLICS PLACES

Some outdoor places may make you want to have a cigarette. When you are in certain situations, or you see others around you smoking, it can be hard for you to resist.
When you are waiting for the bus in the bus shelter, having a drink on the terrace or at the counter, or going to a tobacco shop, you will learn to manage your emotions and reduce your urge to smoke.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

1. I get my headset

You will need to equiped yourself with a compatible virtual reality headset. You will then have an unlimited access to our software : C2Phobia, C2Drive, C2Hypno, C2Brain, C2Custom, and C2Motion.

2. I carry out my sessions

If you are followed by a therapist, you will discuss together your anxiety disorder, in order to understand it and to give you the necessary tools to reduce it. You will be exposed to virtual reality in a progressive manner adapted to your needs.

3. I use my headset autonomously

 You will be able to repeat as many times as necessary the exposure to the different situations in order to create a habituation and thus reduce the anxiety related to them.

I had been trying to quit smoking for 5 years. I tried everything: nicotine patches, hypnosis, vaping… All to no avail! Each time, after only a few weeks, I resumed my consumption as if it had never stopped. Rather desperate, I started to look for a new solution on the Internet. This journey is the most beautiful discovery I have ever made. It’s been more than a year now since I’ve had my virtual reality therapy. I haven’t had a single cigarette since. I am BREATHING !

Hello, I became a mother 4 years ago. Although I had stopped smoking during my pregnancy by trying hypnosis and specialised books, I quickly started again after the birth of my son. I have always been afraid of indirect smoking and therefore of damaging my son’s health. Worse still, I think I was very afraid of influencing him and that one day he would become a smoker himself… Anyway. So I wanted to stop, but without neglecting my new life as a mother. The VR therapy from my home helped me a lot! Today, I have a clear conscience and a healthy son! Thank you for this!

A new resolution for my 40th birthday: to take control of my life after years of excess and I don’t know how many kilos of cigarettes. Being out of breath going up the stairs, the shame…. That’s when I realised that getting my life back was already about quitting smoking. My journey with my therapist really helped me to fight against this old addiction that had been ingrained in me. Today, I can climb stairs without suffocating and I feel much younger !

Social Phobias

Social phobia, or social anxiety, is a fear of certain social activities or performances. These are situations in which the person feels intense anxiety about possible negative judgment from others. This anxiety can significantly affect self-confidence, making any social interaction difficult. Public speaking is often a major source of stress for those suffering from social phobia, as they fear being observed, rejected, embarrassed, or humiliated, which triggers avoidance and isolation behaviors. This social phobia can lead to a lot of suffering and should not be taken lightly. In Europe, 2 to 4% of the population suffers from social phobia, and it is more prevalent among women than men. The consequences on self-confidence and the ability to speak in public can be severe, often requiring professional intervention to help individuals overcome their fears and improve their quality of life.
