Tina struggles to even leave her home as any surrounding dogs trigger her heart to race and her body to tremble. With the help of the show, Tina confronts her anxiety with a therapy called systematic desensitization, which involves gradual exposure to dogs in a controlled environment.

The second person is John, a 48-year-old construction worker, who has an intense phobia of snakes. Despite a lack of snakes in his immediate surroundings, John's phobia is so intense that he experiences panic attacks and avoids any places or situations where snakes might appear. Through the show's innovative approach, John is introduced to therapeutic methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and virtual reality therapy to address his fears.
