Decrease Trauma-related Shame With Virtual Reality: The Effectiveness of SHINE-VR

"The SHINE-VR takes place after trauma processing, e.g. after module 6 of TF-CBT or processing of the traumatic event with EMDR, and is followed by the rest of the regular treatment. SHINE-VR consists of the following 3 VR sessions à 45min:~* Introduction: getting acquainted with VR, playing a VR game developed for the feasibility study (Krupljanin et al., in preparation), receiving psychoeducation about seeking help.~* Shame: virtual group therapy setting, psychoeducation about shame, virtual peers sharing thoughts of shame and their learnings/positive affirmations.~* Self-compassion: practicing self-compassion using an immersive perspective-changing task in VR."
