Welcome to Behind the Couch! The companion livestream to L.A. Not So Confidential's forensic psychology & true crime podcast.

This month we chatted with the incredible women behind Rebel Tours in London. Dr. Shiloh attended their Jack the Ripper: What About the Women? tour while at CrimeCon UK and was so impressed by their empathetic and feminist approach to the historical events, that we knew we had to share their perspective with all of you!

We have been asked about our thoughts on the JonBenet Ramsey case A LOT lately given the new documentary release. And although this is Dr. Shiloh’s Roman Empire, we have rarely commented on it.
 
Therefore, we are releasing this audio from the Summer of 2021 (remember those pandemic days?) when Dr. Shiloh and Rebekah Sebastian discussed key elements of the case, the intruder theory, and even some suspects not mentioned in the recent documentary. We end things with a little audience participation trivia game.
 
*Please note that this was recorded in June 2021 and, although we pivot into a serious tone when discussing the case, there are jovial moments in the livestream while interacting with a live audience.

This week we explore a rarely mentioned subject in Psychology- Are you allowed to research your clients and to what extreme is acceptable? We cover the ethical considerations in a day and age of Telehealth, social media, and DMs. We also consider these questions in the case of high-profile clients, using the Delphi murder trial as inspiration for our discussion.

Please enjoy this live recording from the Berkshire Podcast Festival from October of 2025. We teamed up with Dr. Megan from Women & Crime to dicuss the ethics of our professions by highlighting some VERY bad examples in the media, both creative and non-fiction. We also touch on how we take these ethical considerations into our work as content creators who are still working in the field every day.

Women & Crime podcast

A parasocial relationship is a one-sided connection where someone feels an imagined personal bond with a public figure. This week, the docs explore the research behind why these relationships form and the different ways we experience them. They also delve into real-life cases where fans crossed boundaries, causing harm to content creators.

Welcome Back Folks! In this episode, “The Ladies Who Love Lifers,” the docs dive into the fascinating, and sometimes disturbing, world of hybristophilia—a condition where individuals are romantically or sexually attracted to those who have committed heinous crimes. From infamous serial killers to lesser-known convicts, we’ll explore what drives some people to seek out relationships with “lifers” and why these connections can become so powerful. Join us as we unpack the psychology behind hybristophilia, its cultural portrayals in films like "Joker: Folie à Deux" and the risks it poses to all those involved.
