Summary

Bryan Kohberger's Mental Patterns — Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott Breaks Down the Dateline Special

In this premiere episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins us to dissect NBC’s Dateline special on Bryan Kohberger — and no, this isn’t just a recap. We’re diving deep into the mental breadcrumbs Dateline may not even realize it dropped. From obsessive control patterns to eerie interpersonal blind spots, Scott unpacks the chilling psychological profile emerging through Kohberger’s behavior, online activity, and demeanor. Is this the mind of a cold-blooded killer — or something even more complex?

How does his rigid need for control mirror clinical profiles of dark personality traits? And how might this Dateline portrayal help jurors and the public start to grasp the motives behind the madness?
