Aviophobia
20% of the global population suffer from the fear of flying.
For more than 30 years, virtual reality therapies have proved their efficiency in anxiety disorders and in phobias such as the fear of flying (aviophobia). Being exposed regularly in virtual reality will lead us to a desensitization of the fear and a reduction of your anxiety in this situation.

C2Care, virtual reality therapeutic software world leader since 2015, makes available the possibility to expose yourself directly at home. To overcome this fear, psychological assistance is made to give you cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques and with virtual reality exposure.
Why using virtual reality in aviophobia ?
VRET (Virtual Reality Exposure Therapies) are based on Cognitive-Behavioral therapies (CBT). You are being exposed to a situation similar to reality using a virtual reality headset.
Gradually, you are going to be exposed to different situations and steps linked to your aviophobia (airport hallway, boarding, fly, air turbulence…) safely. The exposure can be reiterated as needed to create the habituation and make the anxiety disappear.
How does it work ?
You receive a virtual reality headset with unlimited access to the software. If you already have your headset, you can directly have access to the software. You are able to expose yourself in various environments linked to your fear of flying (from the airport entrance to the landing).
Simultaneously, twice a month, you have appointments with a psychologist to help you with your anxiety. During these consultations, you are using the virtual reality headset. It’s helpful to discuss and to understand more about your aviophobia, and to have useful tools to handle your anxiety. The exposure is gradual and adapted to your needs and to your anxiety.
At the end of the 3 months subscription, you can keep going on the therapy if you want to.
