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 and VR-TriggerWalk is another treatment for the Mental Health and Addiction Community. We use Virtual Reality experiences that include a smell component to help suffering people get control over their triggers like bars for alcoholics or loud noise and diesel fuel for PTSD. We do this under the guidance of therapists using no mind or body altering drugs. This betters their odds.
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.
What are Triggers?
Triggers can be anything that reminds you of previous addictive behavior and may evoke a powerful urge to re-experience that behavior. It can be a person, place, location, stressful situation, event, or another factor that elicits positive feelings about drug, alcohol, or other addictive behavior. Having a conversation with a therapist or someone in your support network about romanticizing use is important.
The stronger coping skills you have, the more likely you will successfully avoid relapse. If you do experience a relapse, learning to better avoid, manage, or otherwise deal with triggers can help prevent another.

How does it work?
We use sight, sound and now smell in our platform for recovery centers and therapies to put clients through a series of customized experiences that they suffer from . By exposing these clients to their triggers, their fears or addictions in a controlled environment over 4 to 8 weeks they are better able to understand the mental and physical reaction they have when experiencing their triggers and become more desensitized as well as better able to control their mental and physical response when they are exposed to these events in the real world.
What is 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 a normal environment. Virtual Reality (VR) uses sight, sound and in our platform smells.
What is the future goals of TriggerWalk?
To help those in recovery to recognize and process triggers in support of a more successful recovery and reduces the risk of relapse. Our goal is to be able to offer this as a commonly used therapy in all clinical environments and will continue to evolve as the technology evolves, at the same time this will help so many people in need that currently have no way to safely experience the outside world when in the bubble and safety of a hospital, prison, recovery center or therapist's office.
