In today’s Pataki Reels, Dr. Sharan Srinivasan explains the brain’s fight, flight, or fright response — a built-in survival mechanism that helps us react to danger. But sometimes, this same system can misfire and cause anxiety or stress even when there’s no real threat. Understanding how your brain works can help you manage these reactions better. This week, we also share a powerful story of a crash survivor who faced overwhelming fear yet found the courage to recover. Knowing how the brain responds to trauma can be the first step toward healing.
