Recommendations for use
To increase the sense of immersion in Virtual Reality, you can include comments, questions or ideas in the session so the experience will seem more realistic to your patient.
Some examples could be:
“Imagine that these are your classmates with whom you are having problems” … “How does it feel to see them?” “What do you think they think of you?” “Which one do you feel most unhappy with and why?” “Which generates the most fear or anxiety?” “Which one do you trust or give you greater security?” “Do they make you nervous?” “What do they usually do when the teacher is away?”, Etc.
In turn, it is highly recommended to try to keep the patient in the same body position in which the protagonist of the scene is (in this case, sitting at the classroom desk).
Similarly, it may be useful to add any element of the scene or context where the events occur. In this case, offering the patient a pen or pencil and a notebook can help to make the immersion more effective and provide the child / adolescent with the sensations of the conflictive environment.
