The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast


Nov 11, 2021

Betrayal can affect your entire life - work, health, and even your relationships.  In a previous episode, I explored how to heal from betrayal in your relationship. This episode focuses on how to heal from betrayal within yourself. Joining me to discuss post betrayal syndrome and post betrayal transformation is Dr. Debi Silber. 

Dr. Debi Silber is the founder of the PBT (Post Betrayal Transformation) Institute and is a holistic psychologist, health, mindset, and personal development expert, the author of Trust Again, and is a 2-time #1 International bestselling author of The Unshakable Woman and From Hardened to Healed: The Effortless Path to Release Resistance, Get Unstuck and Create a Life You Love.

You’ve heard it before, “Time heals all wounds.” But,  Dr. Debi Silber has proof that this is not true. It doesn’t matter if your betrayal happened decades ago, you can still experience Post Betrayal Syndrome today. 

However, if you are willing to do the work, you can move through all five stages of healing in order to get to post betrayal transformation and experience freedom on the other side.
