oVRcome: The App That Helps You Overcome Your Fears
oVRcome is a free Android app developed by clinical psychologists to help users overcome their phobias and anxieties. It provides safe and effective guided virtual reality (VR) exposure therapy and coping strategies that help manage reactions and lessen the feeling of being terrified. The app is based on a robust body of academically accepted, evidence-based, peer-reviewed literature and encapsulates the inner workings of psychological theory and proven methodology.
The app offers users the chance to practice calming down and conquer their fears in the privacy, convenience, and comfort of their own home. With oVRcome, users can do exposure therapy whenever they like, gain knowledge about their phobia, master critical calming skills, change their mindset and reactions around their fears, learn how to live with their phobia, and stop letting it rule their lives. The app also offers exercises and quizzes that help users remember and apply powerful techniques to control fear, and a toolbox that provides quick access to their skills whenever they need them. Finally, the app includes a series of guided meditations to help users cool down and regain balance.
