Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a popular and proven type of therapy that helps people identify and change negative thoughts and behaviors. It is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. By changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, individuals can enhance their emotional well-being.

Exposure Therapy is a technique within Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that helps people face and reduce their fear or anxiety linked to specific triggers. It involves gradually exposing patients to the feared object, situation, or memory in a safe and controlled setting. Over time, this repeated exposure helps desensitize individuals to their fears, reduces avoidance behaviors, and shows them that their anxiety will decrease naturally.

Virtual reality , has two distinct applications: entertainment and health . It’s important to note that entertainment games do not have therapeutic properties. In therapeutic settings, software and applications are specifically developed for health purposes by scientific institutions. Today, the use of Virtual Reality ( VR ) is rapidly growing as an innovative and effective tool in therapy and health care, and it is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
