AB - The purpose of this study was to find out the usefulness of VREC (Virtual Reality Environment Configuration) as a self-help stress management technique. The subject of this study was a middle-aged woman who had the early symptoms of panic disorder due to stress. CoSpaces Maker and Edu were used as research tools to analyze a total of 34 VE (Virtual Environment) configured by the subject during 1 year and 8 months.
The NVivo12 program was used for qualitative analysis of the data. An analysis of the VE components showed that the subject used an average of 11 minutes to configure VE and the basic background and the day time was selected most frequently. The most common symbol used by the subject to configure VE was a tree. Next, an analysis of storytelling revealed four themes such as ‘harsh life’, ‘waiting’, ‘journey for rest’, and ‘entanglement of memories and reality’ which emerged over time. Lastly, after VE configuration, the subject’s psychological state changed from ‘anxiety’ to ‘comfort’ and the frequency of using negative words decreased from 80% to 28%. The usefulness of VR-based psychotherapy to improve mental health was discussed.
