Blanket Training and Locked Doors — A Psychotherapist on the Duggar Children

The Duggar arrests have dominated headlines. The charges against Joseph. The charges against Kendra. The family's reported response. But almost no one is talking about the children at the center of all of it.Four children under the age of eight in Joseph and Kendra's home — both parents arrested, locks on the outside of their bedroom doors, their father transported to Florida on felony charges. Seven children being raised by Anna Duggar while Josh serves a federal prison sentence. And a documented family child-rearing practice — blanket training — that involves physically striking infants who try to crawl off a designated blanket in order to break their will.Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott for Part 2 of a three-part conversation examining what these children are actually living through. Scott brings thirty years of clinical expertise in trauma and child development, along with her own experience growing up inside a fundamentalist religious system.What does a child under eight actually process when their entire world collapses? What does blanket training do to a developing brain? And can children raised inside a system of total control grow into healthy adults?This is Part 2 of 3.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
