What is TriggerWalk?
TriggerWalk is a startup company of people recovering from addiction that find that being in the bubble of a Recovery Center does not get them ready for the world once they leave
Together we walk the path to recovery.
Why is our company called TriggerWalk?
We call it TriggerWalk and the Virtual Reality (VR) is the tool we use to offer this therapeutic platform. People with addiction, PTSD, or even fear of heights are triggered by people, places or things including smells that trigger their mental and physical reaction and in many cases in a dangerous or destructive manner. So using Virtual Reality (VR), we walk these people through their triggers in a safe, controlled environment such as a Rehabilitation Center.... (VR)TriggerWalk.
Together we walk the path to recovery. We provide the most responsive and functional Que Therapeutics technologies designed for both recovery and rehabilitation worldwide
The latest case studies
The VR-TriggerWalks platform
Utilizes VR technology and non-reactive perfumes to replicate real world environments, which are crafted with care and attention to the trigger (and its severity) the therapist wishes to portray to their patient. Furthermore, any number of choices may be implemented into the environment, giving the subject a sense of control and autonomy—elements hard to come by in most rehabilitation facilities. By exposing these clients to their triggers, over a course of 4 to 8 weeks, they, and their therapist, may better understand both the psychological and physiological responses to such triggers, thus becoming desensitized and better able to manage these responses.
What is VR (Virtual Reality?
Virtual Reality (VR) is the use of computer or video modeling and simulation that enables a person to interact with an artificial, three-dimensional (3-D), visual (or other sensory) environment. So, you can be placed into environments that could be considered dangerous or unachievable in normal circumstance without ever leaving the comfort of home. Virtual Reality (VR) uses sight, sound, and, in our platform, smells.
Why use smell?
TriggerWalk's use of aromas is rooted in neuropsychology. Although the human response to smell is weak, its subconscious effects remain intense and valid across a wide range of persons suffering from addiction and trauma. The alcoholic develops a keen sense of smell for alcohol and the victim of a car crash develops PTSD triggered by gasoline. The ability to smell is tightly linked with memory recall, as studies have shown, thus we found it necessary to add scent dissemination to our platform's arsenal of tools to aid recovery.
What are the future goals of TriggerWalk??
To help those in recovery to recognize and process triggers in support of a more successful recovery and reduce the risk of relapse. Our goal is to be able to offer this as a commonly used therapy in all clinical environments. We plan to evolve as the technology evolves in order to utilize these new tools to their fullest potential. TriggerWalk seeks to help those in need who have no way to safely experience the outside world when they are comfortable and safe within the isolated walls of a hospital, prison, recovery center, or therapist's office.
