Episode 204: Healing From Betrayal with Debi Silber

Most of us have probably experienced betrayal in some form or another during the course of our lives. Unlike the trauma of the death of a loved one or a natural disaster, betrayal feels extremely personal, which is why the healing process differs. Unfortunately, many people get stuck in the early stages of dealing with betrayal which often has a detrimental impact on their mental and physical health for many years, sometimes even a lifetime. 

In today’s episode, I am joined by Dr. Debi Silber, founder of the Post Betrayal Transformation (PBT) Institute, whose own experiences of betrayal led her to discover 3 fundamental truths about betrayal and subsequently develop a 5 stage healing process that helps people who are struggling with post-betrayal syndrome radically alter their lives for the better.

Debi is a holistic psychologist, health mindset and personal development expert, and the author of 3 books that explore different elements of betrayal. Whether you have recently been through a betrayal, or have been stuck in an unhealthy pattern of betrayal-related trauma for many years, this episode will show you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and as long as you have the will to heal, you will get there!  


What you’ll learn about in this episode:

  • Introducing today’s guest, holistic psychologist, personal development expert, and author Dr. Debi Silber.
  • Debi shares an overview of the journey that led to her deep exploration of the psychology of betrayal.
  • The trauma of betrayal.
  • Why betrayal is different from other kinds of trauma (such as the death of a loved one or a natural disaster).
  • Healing from betrayal; the 5 stages.
  • Why so many people get stuck in Stage 3. 
  • Unsettling feelings that accompany growth.
  • The two options that you have for rebuilding after a betrayal.
  • Physical and mental symptoms that are commonly experienced after a betrayal.
  • Why avoiding the healing process is likely to invite more betrayal into your life. 
  • Resources offered by the Post-Betrayal Institute.
  • Who the Rebuild program at the Post-Betrayal Institute is aimed at.
