the inspiration for founding replica was the founder's intense pain and trauma from suddenly losing a friend to an accident. Then reflecting on the psychotherapy culture in a country with a rich history of government assigning what constitutes proper behavior patterns. It's easy to label somebody's psychological state as inadequate, but what's harder is providing them tools to recover. What's nearly impossible today is providing such tools at scale. Would your general sentiment on replica and it's users apply to using idiotic VR simulators for PTSD survivors? I can make an argument that a reasonable adult should not be tricked into believing they are actually on a roof ledge when they are clearly on a couch. However, that kind of therapy has shown some promising results and is certainly more accessible than traditional care. Granted replica may not be the working tool, but I'd be curious if you have other options its users can go to when traditional human relationships are challenging for them.
