🎙 Welcome back to MHVR Bytes! This episode is special, and a little personal.
Dr. Jessica Stone and I sat down with James Perez and Dr. Deanne Canieso, two brilliant featured experts from the Mental Health Virtual Reality book, to talk about their chapter on VR and chronic pain. And let me tell you, Deanne’s story floored me.
From facing the uncertainty of an autoimmune disease to rediscovering movement and hope through a VR headset, her journey is equal parts inspiring and eye-opening. You’ll hear how she went from patient to therapist, using her lived experience to help others.
James brings his own fascinating perspective from communication, language, and health research, and yes, we got into the humor, heart, and humanity of it all.
We cover:
💡 How VR can help people live beyond their pain
💡 Why embodiment and immersion are more than just buzzwords
💡 How tech can deliver care to people who can’t always reach it
If you’ve ever wondered whether technology can truly change lives, this episode is living proof.
🎧 Listen now and see how VR is not just a tool, but a bridge back to living.
