My bad VR trip

TL;DR

I ripped off the headset, afraid I was going to throw up. What would VR decompression look like to ease our mind-body connection as we transition from virtual spaces? What resources for grounding, reorienting, and re-realization do we need as we transition between alternative reality interfaces? Psychedelic harm reductionIf cyberspace is a “mass consensual hallucination,” as William Gibson described it, we might also borrow from psychedelic harm reduction tactics for handling a bad VR trip. Lacking any of these metaphors for reorientation, I instinctively fell back on techniques I had learned in therapy, grounding and reorienting my body in my real, physical environment to help regulate my nervous system after this bad VR trip
