People with certain (negative) past experiences are triggered in daily life by situations that are (very) similar. As a result, they can go into the 'fight, flight, freeze response. This response exists to keep people safe, preparing them to face, escape, or hide from danger. Whether the danger is real or not.To get people to function in the best way possible in this situation, it would be best to practice these situations that trigger people.
For many people, the step is too big to put themselves in an uncomfortable situation or talk about it. Moreover, it is practically not possible to create these situations very often and regularly. VR is the solution! With VR, lifelike situations are created. During a coaching session, many things come to the fore where the coach can analyze the client's reactions and find out the underlying reasons for these patterns or fears. Then work is done on a breakthrough in which the fear is extinguished.
We can work with people in a number of ways with Virtual Reality Coaching:
- VR as an exposure tool: In Virtual Reality, we can confront people with these triggers in a safe setting through VR exposure coaching, training, or therapy. With repeated practice, one gets more and more the feeling of personal control and/or control over a certain situation.
- VR as a test method: You can immediately test the effect of your own coaching and training method on the participant or coachee. The own coaching method can be: NLP, PSYCH-K, EFT, PMA, ACT, and so on. The approach here is to confront the participants/coachees in a Virtual environment with their fears, challenges, and/or personal and/or business goals.
- Use VR as a stepping stone to see what comes up during this experience. To then take that as a reason to really start the conversation in the coaching or training, instead of mainly swimming on the surface with each other.
