VIRTUAL REALITY ADAPTS TO YOUR DISORDER

DYSMORPHOBIA

In eating disorders, body image is often severely affected and the perception of the body schema is distorted.
The environments allow us to work on this perception and to gradually recover a more realistic and less distressing perception of the body.

EXPOSITION

In the majority of eating disorders, food is at the heart of the problem. It is either a source of great anxiety or a source of irresistible attraction. Both aspects can be worked on through exposure.
Through several environments covering many types of food (sweets, fast food, chocolates…), you can work on these difficult emotions and overcome them.

COMPOSITION OF MEALS

With the help of your therapist, dietician or nutritionist, compose e-meals with immediate feedback on nutritional values to increase your nutritional knowledge and help you reintroduce forbidden foods. This application is aimed at a wide range of disorders: people suffering from obesity or anorexia, bulimics, compulsive snackers, diabetics…

TESTIMONIALS

Each person tells in their own words about the support they have received and the major changes that have taken place in their lives. All these testimonies are proof that yes, one’s life can change, and that we are doing everything we can to guide you on the path to that change.

When I was a teenager, everyone made fun of me. So I started to have a big complex about my body. I didn’t dare to look at myself anymore, and little by little I started counting every food that went into my body. I hardly ate any more and I enjoyed watching my body lose weight. I started to develop health problems, I had to take control of my life. C2Care helped me to accept myself better and to understand my body. Today I am back to a stable weight and I feel good.

When I was 25 years old, I had a breakdown following a break-up. I didn’t dare go to a professional to help me get over it, so I ate to fill my emotional void. For years, I fell into a vicious circle and continued to eat excessively. I didn’t like myself anymore and couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror. Virtual reality has helped me to deal with this problem more easily and without having to move. I am finally starting to find stability in my life.
Clément M
I have had eating disorders since I was a teenager, and I have often gone to see doctors to deal with this problem. But the solutions I was given were mostly to do sports or to eat better. And yet, despite my good will, nothing changed. I understood through my virtual reality therapy that the problem was elsewhere. So I worked on my emotions, my relationship with my body and my self-esteem, which was very low. Little by little, with the help of my psychologist, I found a life where food no longer controls me.

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.
