5-minute sessions
Short enough to begin without feeling overwhelmed.
Coming to Apple Vision Pro
A gentler way to practice facing spiders.
Private, safety-first arachnophobia practice with short sessions, gradual progression, and an instant exit whenever you need it.
No forced intensity. No public waiting room. You stay in control.
Knowing it’s “just a spider” does not make fear disappear.
Avoidance can mean scanning rooms, skipping places, or asking someone else to handle it. Starting exposure can feel too big, too public, or impossible to repeat.
Panic exit, always available
Leave immediately, without losing control.
Progressive comfort levels
Move forward only when you feel ready.
A 14-day path built for comfort, not intensity.
Practice in manageable moments: each day offers one clear reason to return, rather than an open-ended experience that asks too much at once.
Day 1: Set your comfort level
A quick check-in helps shape a starting point around comfort, nausea sensitivity, and intensity.
Days 2-7: Practice in small steps
Short, guided sessions introduce a controlled stimulus gradually.
Days 8-14: Notice what has changed
Track your own avoidance reduction and mark meaningful milestones, not just streaks.
Progress should feel real, even when practice is virtual.
Notice the changes that matter outside the headset: the situations you are more willing to approach and the tasks that feel a little less impossible.

Built with early users
FearStep is recruiting a small group for an early paid beta. Feedback will help refine comfort settings, pacing, and what makes a 14-day program worth returning to.
Comfort first
What makes an experience feel safe enough to begin?
Repeat use
What brings someone back on Day 3, Day 7, and Day 14?
Meaningful progress
What changes are worth tracking outside the headset?
Designed to be careful about what it is, and what it isn’t. FearStep VR is self-guided exposure practice for adults. It is not therapy, medical advice, crisis support, or a substitute for care from a qualified professional. If you are in distress, have a condition that makes VR use unsafe, or want clinical support, speak with an appropriate healthcare professional before participating. Always optional. Always at your pace. Always able to exit.
Early access is limited and availability is not guaranteed.
Take the first step privately.
