Virtual Reality (VR) therapy is an innovative approach that allows patients to immerse themselves in controlled and safe environments
to work on psychological difficulties. Using a virtual reality headset, patients experience interactive scenarios
designed for therapeutic purposes, under the supervision of a mental health professional.
