How the Metacare experience works: a new world for therapy
Metacare is a new way for those who want to take care of their mental well-being. A virtual environment that provides new perspectives for psychotherapy, integrating sessions and numerous preparatory exercises for the most common disorders within a virtual and controlled environment. An environment in which the patient's privacy is fully protected. The Metacare context thus aims to maximise the benefits of therapy. Like all contexts, however, Metacare has rules, and our team, in this article, wants to provide you with some technical guidance on how you can make the most of the benefits of the platform and the activities you can do within it. Before discovering in depth all the details of our method, find out in this article how to take your first steps on the platform.
Logging in
The journey into the world of Metacare starts here.
After entering your credentials, you can log in to the platform and finally take your first steps into the world of online psychotherapy.
Your access credentials will be provided to you by email after you have chosen your psychologist from our website.
Once you have logged in, you will be able to choose the avatar that best represents you.
The alter-ego will allow you to experience the Metacare environment by taking advantage of one of the platform’s main features: experiencing psychotherapy while respecting your privacy and maintaining your anonymity. In fact, Metacare allows you to experience therapy without being obliged at any time to reveal to the therapist – or to the other patients in the group therapy sessions.
Once this procedure is completed, you are ready to begin a journey into a new vision of psychotherapy
The controls
Once you have chosen your avatar, you can start moving within the virtual environment of Metacare.
The controls are very simple and intuitive, allowing you to explore our world in an accessible and functional way.
The Office room
Every psychotherapist has his or her own practice, and Metacare professionals are no different.
Once logged in, the patient enters the main room of the platform, where he or she can perform various therapeutic activities.
From traditional therapy, which you can take part in by clicking on the chairs in front of your desk, to more specific exercises such as controlled breathing with the lotus flower: in this room, you immediately visualise the potential of the Metacare service.
The potential of a service that wants to follow you, step by step, on your therapy path.
The main room is also multifaceted in terms of its appearance. The therapist, depending on the time of the session, can change the colour of the walls to make the room match the emotionality of the dialogue he is having with the patient.
Immersive therapy
Metacare innovation also lies in the method, not only in the environments.
We want to give people a different perspective on psychotherapy, make them discover new ways, understand how to improve their well-being.
The immersion on which our therapy is based does just that: in the main room, guided by your therapist, you can visualise your phobias and familiarise yourself with them in order to rationalise them and try to understand them more deeply.
PLEASE REMEMBER: In the virtual environments of Metacare, as well as before you begin your journey, you will always be accompanied by a professional who will analyze your situation in depth and, secondarily, choose the therapeutic path tailored to you. You will never be completely alone on the path, and these exercises will only be done when the psychotherapist deems it appropriate.
How to access the other Metacare immersive environments?
The Metacare Environments are based on immersion and placing the user in contexts that maximize the benefits of therapy.
From the main room, your therapist’s office, you can access the Metacare environments through entry doors located on the four sides of the main room.
Approach the door with the color corresponding to the room you wish to access to enter your personalized room.
The Light Blue Room
The benefits of immersive therapy come from creating an environment that makes patients feel comfortable, evokes positive feelings such as serenity, and creates a welcoming place to help those who choose Metacare therapy pathways open up more easily. This is what the Light Blue Room is for.
The view of the sea, the possibility to lie down on the beach and to do breathing exercises with the lotus flower together with the therapist are all components that evoke positive feelings and calmness in the patient, allowing him/her to open up more easily.
The Blue Room
The room is one of the most visually impressive.
Our team recreated a very detailed mountain environment, including the view. A choice that allows anyone with a fear of heights or emptiness to become familiar with high altitudes.
The Green Room
The Green Room focuses on the concept of mindfulness, a process that cultivates the ability to bring attention to, awareness of, and acceptance of the present moment.
Given the open spaces and tranquility provided by total immersion in nature, your therapist can guide you in specific activities related to focusing on the present.
The Red Room
The red room simulates social environments in which the patient is required to speak in public.
Conference rooms, meeting rooms, or stages: there are many places that can create anxiety about speaking in public.
In these settings, the patient can speak in front of others without revealing his or her identity. In this way, the patient can practice public speaking and begin to overcome this fear, which can be detrimental in the workplace, but also in everyday life.
