The Psychology of Shock: Why the Charlie Kirk Assassination Feels Different
In this opening segment, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, Todd Michaels, and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examine why the assassination of Charlie Kirk has triggered such deep emotional shockwaves across the country. From the symbolism of losing a polarizing political figure to the anxiety of watching violence erupt in what should have been a safe, public setting, the team unpacks the psychological destabilization many Americans now feel. Shavaun explains how attacks on leaders can feel like attacks on identity itself, while Tony and the panel reflect on the collective trauma and rising fears of a new wave of political assassinations. This is less about politics — and more about the fragile psychology of a nation on edge.
