Relaxation as part of recovery

Many clients find it difficult to release stress and tension. Psylaris Relax offers a simple way to actively support relaxation.
 With virtual reality, clients can work on calm, focus, and recovery either independently or under your guidance.


 On this page, you’ll read how Relaxatie reduces stress, accelerates recovery, and helps you make relaxation a structural part of treatment.

Easy to use for stress and tension

Psylaris Relax makes relaxation simple and accessible within any treatment pathway. The VR module helps clients reduce tension when it matters most: as preparation for a session, to unwind afterwards, or to relax independently at home. This way, you support recovery in a safe and controlled manner, without adding extra pressure on you as a therapist.

Easy to use, no technical knowledge required
Suitable for use in the therapy room and at home
Supports various stress- and tension-related complaints safely and in a controlled way

“Within regular EMDR we would not have been able to treat this as effectively.”

Birgit supported a boy who could follow a relaxation exercise in VR in his own language. He had been in survival mode for so long that relaxing no longer felt natural. Birgit used a combination of relaxation–EMDR–relaxation. Thanks to the VR environment he calmed down noticeably faster. Within regular EMDR sessions this pace would likely not have been possible.

“She is experiencing that she can relax now”

Florentine worked with a client with PTSD who was always ‘on,’ constantly alert and tense. No exercise seemed to help; even working together with a colleague didn’t manage to calm her down. According to the client, nothing simply worked. That was until Florentine introduced the VR headset.

The reindeer video and sitting on the back of a horse finally managed to get something moving. She noticed her alertness decrease and space open up to relax.

She took the VR headset home and practices twice a day. From this newly found calm, she’s now even able to add breathing exercises—something that hadn’t been possible before. Through this small entry point, she feels for the first time that relaxation is achievable.

“You could really see the girl relax.”

After an intense EMDR session, Lonneke used a relaxation exercise with a girl. During the exercise she watched the girl visibly calm down. She didn’t end the treatment in tension but instead began talking enthusiastically about the videos she had seen in VR. This turned something heavy and emotional into a positive experience: a calm, gentle ending to an intense process.

Read the experience of Florentine

“In just two sessions, even with a severe trauma, we worked through it.”

Florentine treated a girl who was very tense about starting EMDR and avoided many things. Nothing seemed to help until she introduced the VR headset. The girl became curious about the moving dot and the maths tasks, and could choose things herself: which colours, whether the dot should bounce. She felt in control, making it easier and safer to start.

“We didn’t need a long treatment at all.”

Emmy treated a client with EMDR for PTSD after childhood sexual abuse. With the VR headset and the working-memory load, the trajectory progressed quickly; the emotional charge decreased much faster than expected. They are now working on other themes, such as fear in traffic. For this she used the headset again, this time with the flashforward technique, and after just one session the tension had almost completely disappeared.

“We saw quick results in a short time.”

Birgit treated a 16-year-old unaccompanied refugee. He didn’t speak the language and was severely traumatised. Without an interpreter, Birgit used the VR headset. She quickly noticed that he relaxed physically and felt comfortable during the exercise. It was the first time she used the headset in this way, with surprisingly fast results.

The experience of Siemen Dal

 “The benefit I get from EMDR-VR is that I can give clients the confidence that they can approach the trauma themselves.”

Siemen worked with a client with a complex trauma history. At first, the client was sceptical about using the VR headset and doubted whether working independently would go well. Together they selected the traumatic memories and made clear agreements about the approach. The client could then work at home with the headset in a safe, structured way. This gave him confidence and ownership over his own recovery.
