The Future of Psychotherapy

PsyCurio

Enhance your therapy sessions with interactive & immersive VR-Scenarios from our medically certified Software!

Virtual Reality (VR) creates realistic experiences…

… that would otherwise require a lot of resources (in-vivo) or are only possible through imagination (in-sensu). In VR-Therapy, we use these virtual experiences to effectively treat mental illnesses.

A huge & growing body of clinical evidence shows that VR-Therapy is as effective (or even more effective!) than traditional treatment, and can be used for a wide variety of disorders, including Addiction, Phobias & Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)!

Social Anxiety

We use VRET to treat social phobia/anxiety (F40.10).

There are 4 exposition scenarios to treat the fear of public speaking (seminar, conference, classroom, lecture hall).

Also, there are 3 modules to practice everyday situations (subway, supermarket, bar).

And last but not least a complete section of our psychoeducation module is designated to inform about social phobia.

Specific Phobias

There are many different specific phobias (F300.29). Our modules enable in-virtuo exposition to some of the most common ones:

  1. Acrophobia – Fear of heights
  2. Arachnophobia – Fear of spiders
  3. Claustrophobia – Fear of enclosed spaces
  4. .. and more to come!
Depression

We treat depression (F33) in three ways:

  • Psychoeducation
  • Autobiographical Exercise (using patients’ own pictures)
  • Meditation / Mindfulness
PTSD

To assist in the treatment of PTSD (F43.10), we provide an in-virtuo version of the vault-exercise, a stabilisitation exercise based on Luise Reddemann’s work, which is normally only done in-sensu.

Addiction

We have exercises for two of the most common addictive disorder:

  • Alcohol Use Disorder (F10. 20)
  • Tobacco Use Disorder (F17. 200)

Addictive symptoms should be reduced through:

  • Approach-avoidance tasks and
  • Cue-exposure training

Testimonials

“In Psycurio, we have found a provider that covers a very wide range of topics. It is an ideal addition to our outpatient psychotherapeutic work.”

Dipl.-Psych. Maren Lammers
Psychological Psychotherapist, Hamburg

“PsyCurio is very versatile and can be used for a wide range of mental illnesses. Patients take up the offer well and gladly, whereby each treatment can be individually adapted to the patient’s needs.”

Prof. Dr. med. Hans-Udo Schneider
Medical Director, MKK

“When I think about how difficult it is to do an exposure in everyday hospital life, PsyCurio is an incredible relief. The meditations also allow patients to immerse themselves who would otherwise find it difficult to engage with them.”

Julia Kilian
Graduate Art Therapist

“There is a significant care deficit in the field of addiction medicine, particularly in the outpatient setting, even though addiction is one of the most common mental illnesses worldwide. Modern psychotherapeutic intervention should ideally be carried out in the patient’s familiar environment and as realistically as possible. In addiction treatment in particular, this is often difficult to implement in an inpatient setting, making VR-supported therapy a very promising option that is tailored to the patient’s needs.”

Dr. med. Alexander Glahn
Senior physician, MHH

“I find the fact that psychoeducational content has been incorporated into the virtual museum useful. They are particularly suitable for use in clinics to take the first steps with patients. Due to the special nature of psychoeducation in VR, it also makes a lot of sense to use it at the beginning of therapy. In addition, the ability to record your own images and voice recordings in a virtual museum can be very helpful. This would be useful, for example, in a long collaboration with patients. I can definitely imagine using VR regularly and with almost all patients.”

Nicole Krysiuk, MSc,
Clinical psychologist in private practice in Vienna

“Shaping the future and seizing opportunities. The approach of using digital content and virtual realities in psychological care and therapy is innovative, individual and sheds light on an untapped area of digitalization.”

Niko Dürrkopp
DRK Herford

“I find the PsyCurio method impressive, contemporary and effective.
In order to practice behavioral patterns, it makes sense to set up protected spaces that are error-tolerant and counter the permanent informational influences that the individual is often unaware of.”

Dr. med Cesary J. Krüger
Physician

“VR is a pioneering technology that has been implemented in an excellent way to immerse you in a world that promises mindfulness and relaxation.”

Holger Remmers
Physiotherapist

“The project highlights digital technologies that will become increasingly relevant in professional practice in the future, especially for nursing training. Great project, super interesting.”

Leonie
Health and pediatric nurse

“It was real! I’m not afraid of heights: but it was definitely intense.”
