How Did Chad Daybell & Lori Vallow Fall Into Crazy Magical Thinking?


Listen Later

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Shavaun Scott, a psychotherapist and author, explores the psychological dimensions of belief in fantastical ideas, using the case of Chad Daybell as a focal point. Daybell's involvement in a series of events characterized by bizarre, magical thinking, such as claiming emojis could transmit powers, illustrates how certain individuals can deviate from reality into the realm of delusion. Shavaun discusses how some individuals, like Daybell, might start to believe their own fabrications, particularly when these notions are reinforced within a community that shares similar beliefs. The conversation touches on the psychological mechanisms that make people susceptible to embracing outlandish narratives, such as a desire for control or a profound sense of being part of an esoteric group that "knows" the hidden workings of the world.

 **Main Points of the Conversation:**
   - **Origins of Fantastical Beliefs:** Discussion on how individuals like Chad Daybell transition from normalcy to embracing and promoting extreme beliefs.
   - **Community Reinforcement:** The role of community in reinforcing bizarre beliefs, making them more entrenched and resistant to change.
   - **Psychology of Belief Adherence:** Insights into why people cling to disproven beliefs, including the psychological comfort of feeling in control or special.
   - **Challenges in Changing Beliefs:** The difficulty in convincing someone to abandon deeply held, fantastical beliefs, especially when these beliefs are supported by a community.
   - **Potential for Manipulation:** Examination of whether individuals like Daybell truly believe in their assertions or use them as tools for manipulation and control.
   - **Psychological Profile:** Discussion on the types of personalities that are prone to adopt and propagate fantastical beliefs, including those with tendencies toward magical thinking or conspiracy theories.
