About this episode
Live on Hidden Killers — psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke to examine the part of the Kouri Richins story that gets the least attention: what was happening inside that marriage, day to day, long before prosecutors say things turned deadly.The emotional exhaustion. The gaslighting. The affair. The way someone can know something is deeply wrong and still not leave. Scott explains the psychological mechanisms behind all of it in plain language — no clinical jargon, no academic framing — just a direct conversation about what this phase does to a human being.We're live and taking your questions tonight. If you've lived this, are living this, or love someone who is — this is the conversation that names what you couldn't.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
