Exposure therapy is a type of behavior therapy used to treat PTSD by exposing patients to feared situations, objects, thoughts, or memories related to their trauma. The goal is to reduce distress through habituation by facing triggers until discomfort subsides. It involves thinking about, then constantly revisiting the traumatic event to become comfortable with the stimulus and overcome PTSD symptoms, unlike avoidance which only provides temporary relief. Exposure therapy can be done through real-life exposure or imagining the trauma until it is no longer distressing.

Oculus Connect 2014 - The value of VR for professional applications

Sebastien Kuntz

VR has been used by professionals for the last 20 years because it saves lives, time and money. Long before the Oculus Rift, engineers have used VR to design and prototype cars, planes, boats, and more. Virtual supermarkets are created to study the impact of a store layout and product packaging. Training simulations are used by a wide variety of professionals like firefighters and surgeons. Therapists use VR to treat phobias in a controlled environment. We will go through all these applications (and many more) and see why VR is an invaluable tool for life.

Delray Recovery Center

Because mental illnesses such as depression and bipolar disorder are very complex and affect all different types of people, the types of treatment available for them vary widely. Narrative therapy is one treatment available, and involves asking questions and telling stories in order to arrive to a happier or more calming conclusion to the sufferer's troubles. Curiosity and exploring different facets of one's own life are encouraged, and there's no wrong direction that the conversation can take. The client is able to talk about any topics they'd like, with the counselor available to keep the client mindful of their conversation in order to help them make sense of it. If you or a loved one is struggling with depression, bipolar disorder, or another mental illness, help is available at delrayrecoverycenter.com.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - Symptoms and Treatment Options

Megan Erasmus

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following a traumatic experience or event. Although it is common for all people to experience different symptoms after trauma, such as fear, negative emotions, or difficulty sleeping, these usually do not last long. PTSD is only diagnosed when a combination of symptoms persists for at least one month. PTSD symptoms can be divided into four categories: intrusion, avoidance, alterations in cognition and mood, and alterations in arousal and reactivity. Intrusion symptoms include flashbacks about the traumatic event (dissociation), intrusive thoughts, recurring dreams, and physical symptoms such as sweating or racing heart when thinking about the event. As the name suggests, avoidance symptoms refer to avoiding anything related to the event, including places, objects, actions, and even thoughts and feelings. People may make significant changes in their lives to avoid any reminders of the traumatic event. Alterations in cognition and mood include negative thoughts and feelings, loss of interest in activities previously found enjoyable, blaming oneself or others for the event, the inability to experience positive emotions. Alterations in arousal and reactivity include the inability to focus, sleep issues, irritability, self-destructive or aggressive behavior, or being easily startled. To be diagnosed with PTSD, first, they must have been exposed to a traumatic event. Exposure can happen as a first-person experience and witnessing something happening to another person, learning of a violent death of a close relative or friend, or being repeatedly exposed to the details of a traumatic event, like in the case of police officers often listening to details of child abuse.

integrativelifecente

Trauma is an emotional reaction to a distressing event, but what does emotional trauma do to the brain? When a person experiences trauma, their brain shifts into high alert. All of their mental and physical functions focus on dealing with the threat. Experts often describe this state as the “fight or flight” response. In most cases, this state of high alert fades once the threat is gone and brain chemicals return to normal. For some people, the effects of trauma linger and can affect their long-term mental and physical health.
