LIVE: The Duggars Call It a Witch Hunt — A Psychotherapist Responds

Joseph Duggar has been arrested on charges involving a child. His wife faces separate child endangerment charges after investigators reportedly found locks on the outside of their children's bedroom doors. And according to sources close to the family, some members are calling this a witch hunt — persecution for following Christ.

Join Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski live with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott as they break down the psychology behind that response in real time. Scott has spent thirty years treating people whose religious frameworks became the obstacle to their own accountability — and she grew up inside a fundamentalist system herself. She knows what it looks like from both sides.

What does it mean when a family has a pre-installed explanation for every consequence that has nothing to do with what anyone actually did? What is Joseph Duggar doing psychologically when he retreats into Scripture after allegedly confessing to harming a child? And what does it take to reach someone who genuinely believes a criminal investigation is spiritual warfare?

This is Part 1 of a three-part live series. Bring your questions.
