You wake up and everything is objectively fine. You have the things you were supposed to want. But you lie there and realize you genuinely can't remember the last time something felt worth getting up for. 💙

You might not even feel sad. You just feel flat—like someone turned the volume down on everything that used to matter.

As a clinical psychologist, I see this happen to the most thoughtful, self-aware, and high-achieving people. It is a deeply confusing experience called Existential Depression. It isn't triggered by a major loss or a sudden crisis. It is a growing sense of emptiness—what psychiatrist Viktor Frankl called the "existential vacuum."

If you are experiencing this, I want you to know: this is not evidence that something is wrong with you. It is evidence that you are paying attention. The same capacity that makes you exceptional makes these big existential questions unavoidable.

I break down exactly why this happens, what the "Arrival Fallacy" is, and 3 concrete tools to help you find meaning again in this week's episode of Savvy Psychologist.

Death of a Pastor's Wife: Coercive Control Explained 🧠

The internet can't stop talking about the Netflix documentary, Death of a Pastor’s Wife.

While I am not commenting on the legal case surrounding Mica Miller, this story has brought a vital psychological term into the mainstream: coercive control. People are finally talking about it, but there is still a huge misunderstanding about how this dynamic actually begins.

When we hear "control" or "abuse," we often picture physical violence. But as a clinical psychologist, I can tell you that the most dangerous relationships don't start that way. They start with someone who seems almost too attentive, too caring, and too certain about you right off the bat.

It looks like the perfect romance. But over a period of years—or even a decade—that excessive devotion is used to isolate you. And by the time you realize you're trapped, the exit to the relationship has been quietly closed.

If you want to understand the psychology behind this cultural conversation, listen to this week's episode of Savvy Psychologist. 🎧

If you have been watching the internet lately, you’ve probably heard about the new documentary, Death of a Pastor’s Wife. While I don't comment on pending legal cases, this story has brought a vital clinical concept into the spotlight: coercive control. 💙

Here is what you need to know: coercive control rarely starts with physical violence. It starts with love bombing. The most dangerous relationships often begin with someone who seems almost too attentive and too caring.

By the time the devotion becomes suffocation, the victim's sense of self has been entirely stripped away. Coercive control is a deliberate pattern of behavior that includes monitoring, isolation, financial control, and verbal degradation.

In this week's episode of Savvy Psychologist, we are breaking down the early red flags, the psychology behind why trauma bonding makes leaving feel impossible, and the best way to support a loved one who might be trapped.
