This virtual environment has been designed to work on the cognitive part of agoraphobia. It is important to get the patient involved in the situation. In order to get the patient involved involved in the situation, here are some examples of indications or questions you can use for this purpose:
- You are alone/accompanied by/waiting for somebody in a square.
- You are in a square located at 1/10/45 minutes away from your homes
- You are in this square and you hear two people saying that in 10 minutes there’ s going to be a demonstration two streets away from the square.
