Feeling Stuck or “In a Funk”? A Psychologist’s CBT-Based Approach

Feeling “in a funk” is a common human experience. Many people describe it as a mix of low motivation, irritability, emotional flatness, or feeling mentally stuck. While it may not meet criteria for depression or anxiety, it can still significantly affect daily functioning, relationships, and overall well-being.

As a registered clinical psychologist in Vaughan, I often help individuals understand what is contributing to these emotional dips and how to respond in ways that create meaningful change rather than staying stuck.
