Dr Debi Silber is a renowned expert in dealing with betrayal. Led to this path due to her own experiences of being betrayed by both her family and her husband. 

She realized that she needed to take her needs seriously and set boundaries to prevent further betrayals. This realization led her to pursue a PhD in transpersonal psychology to help others dealing with betrayal. She is a speaker, coach, and author of several books on the subject, and uses her own experiences to help others heal and move forward in their lives.

On this episode of Trauma Hiders Club, Dr. Debi Silber joins me to discuss the five stages of healing from post betrayal syndrome. 

We dive into statistics on the physical and mental symptoms experienced by those who have been betrayed, emphasizing the importance of healing from this trauma. 

Dr. Silber shares her personal experience of betrayal and discovering the unique healing process required for this type of trauma. She also discusses the stages of recovery and the importance of not getting stuck in stage three. 

You'll learn about the quiz offered on their website to identify the extent of post betrayal syndrome and the PBT Institute's transformative programs. 

On this episode, you’ll get helpful insights, guidance, and practical tips for healing and reclaiming one's life after betrayal.

“The Reality of Post Betrayal Syndrome: We know we can't count on time.”
