Abstract

In the context of China's rapid development and accelerated pace of life, people generally face increased pressure, leading to a sharp increase in psychological problems. More than half of the population is sub-healthy, and patients with mental illness are also increasing year by year. Mental stress is a common cause of psychological and physiological disorders, triggering emergency stress states. Psychotherapy has been developing as an important intervention method, and psychological relief based on relaxation and stress reduction has gradually become a research hotspot. Behavioral therapy and cognitive therapy are common psychological treatments, while relaxation induction methods include breathing training, meditation, music, etc. Virtual reality technology is used in psychological research to improve therapeutic effects. Among them, virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET), which treats anxiety by creating virtual scenes, has attracted attention. And in virtual reality exposure therapy treatment, the patient's psychological state can be grasped by monitoring these physiological reactions. This article will discuss the key technologies for psychological decompression based on VRET, aiming to gain an in-depth understanding of its principles, applications, etc.
