In Season Two of her true crime series, The God Hook, journalist Carol Costello investigates the complex case of the Ohio Craigslist Killings—and in doing so, unearths the untold story of the crimes that preceded the murders—and the victims who’ve never received justice.

The Epstein files are about to drop — not rumors, not whispers, not selectively leaked scraps — the full trove of documents America has spent years demanding. And while the legal system prepares for its moment, the rest of the country is bracing for something far deeper: the psychological shockwave that comes when long-buried truth finally hits daylight.
In this powerful hour-long conversation, Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to examine the emotional and psychological fallout that is about to ripple through millions of people. From survivors who will relive their trauma in real time, to families who have carried the weight of these stories for decades, to a public that is finally about to see how deeply Epstein’s influence reached — nothing about this moment is simple.
Shavaun breaks down why this case carries such heavy emotional gravity, why institutional betrayal hits harder than individual wrongdoing, and how the human brain reacts when long-hidden truths collide with years of speculation, denial, conspiracy, and political posturing.
We explore the trauma responses that may surface for survivors. The panic, defensiveness, and rationalization likely to erupt from those whose names appear in the documents. The wave of cognitive dissonance the public will feel when familiar faces and trusted institutions are forced into the spotlight. And the psychological mechanisms — shame, fear, denial — that will shape the national conversation in the days and weeks after release.
This isn’t just a news event.
This is a national psychological event.
And Shavaun Scott helps us understand exactly what that means.
