This is the story…

of the history and application of virtual reality (VR) narratives and technologies to heal trauma and pain and promote well-being. The people doing this work span the globe and share a commitment to developing immersive technologies for human wellness. This project is practicum work for a Ph.D. in Psychology with an emphasis in Media & technology from Fielding Graduate University.

I began this project at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. I reached out to over a dozen pioneers and experts using VR with their patients and clients to manage addiction, anxiety, pain, phobias, PTSD, and trauma. I hope you’ll take the time to link to the people in these episodes to see what they’re up to today. Thanks so much for listening!
