A Therapist Explains Why Maggie Murdaugh Went to Moselle When She Didn’t Want To

A Therapist Explains Why Maggie Murdaugh Went to Moselle When She Didn’t Want To

The window between deciding to leave and actually being gone is the most dangerous place a person can stand. Most people do not know that. Most people think the decision is the breakthrough — that once you have made up your mind, the hardest part is over. The data says the opposite.

Maggie Murdaugh had reportedly already made that decision. According to reports, she had met with an attorney. She was living at the beach house. And on the night of June 7, 2021, when Alex asked her to come to Moselle, she did not want to go. Two witnesses testified to that at trial. She went anyway.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explains what the research actually shows about separation danger, how years of accommodation rewire your ability to say no in the moments it matters most, and what safety planning looks like in practice. Scott recently wrote about this on her Substack, Spotlight on Psychology. If you are in that window right now, the last question of this conversation was written for you.
