LIVE: The Cult Behind the Duggars — A Psychotherapist Who Grew Up in Fundamentalism Breaks Down IBLP

Join Hidden Killers hosts Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke live as they sit down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott for Part 1 of a three-part conversation on the Duggar family and the organization that built them.

Before the arrests. Before the convictions. Before any of it — there was IBLP. The Institute in Basic Life Principles told millions of American families that fathers held absolute authority, that female submission was God's design, and that leaving that authority was, in their own published words, witchcraft. They kept sex education out of their homeschool curriculum. They said fear of dying in pregnancy was satanic. They described rock music as more addictive than crack cocaine.

Scott is a thirty-year licensed psychotherapist who specializes in trauma recovery and the psychology of violent behavior — and who grew up inside a fundamentalist religious system herself. She brings the clinical framework and the lived experience to one of the most important questions in this story: how does a system like IBLP get that level of control — and what does it produce in the families who live inside it?

Call in. Join the conversation. This is Part 1 of 3.
