VRsafe – A Virtual Reality Tool for Enhancing Emotion Regulation

Deficits in emotion regulation are transdiagnostic and often occur independently of the underlying clinical diagnosis. Well-developed emotion regulation is a key factor facilitating a successful therapeutic process. The implementation of the virtual reality (VR) tool VRsafe, which features individually adaptable training software, has the potential to substantially enhance therapeutic practice. Such a tool would not only support therapists in their work but also enable patients to train emotion regulation skills independently in a safe and controlled environment from home. This approach offers several advantages, including bridging the gap between therapy sessions and potentially accelerating and stabilizing the therapeutic process.
