How to Heal from Betrayal and Emotional Trauma to Reclaim Self-Trust with Dr. Debi Silber

Have you ever felt as though the ground has suddenly dropped out from under you after someone you trusted deeply betrayed you?

Betrayal can manifest physically and emotionally, preventing you from achieving what you truly desire.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Debi Silber, PhD, the founder of The Post Betrayal Transformation Institute and an international bestselling author. She shares three key insights from her personal experiences with betrayal trauma, as well as her research findings.

Debi explains why betrayal trauma is uniquely different and requires a different healing approach. She also describes what relationship recovery entails and walks you through the five stages of healing from betrayal. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How trauma responses can create discomfort and physical issues in the body, manifesting as exhaustion, gut problems, chest tightness, disrupted sleep, and difficulty loving again.
• The three discoveries Debi made while researching betrayal trauma, and why it differs from other types of emotional trauma.
• The importance of nervous system regulation and somatic healing in overcoming betrayal trauma. 
• The five stages you need to navigate in order to heal from betrayal.
• Why stage three is often referred to as the "muddy middle" and is the most challenging phase to get through.
• The crucial role of emotional resilience in progressing through all five stages. 
• How trauma responses like people-pleasing, emotional eating, or emotional shutdown may indicate a need for further healing from your betrayal trauma.
• Why forgiveness is more about your personal journey than the actions of the other person.
• How setting emotional boundaries can help you move forward with clarity and self-trust. 
• The #1 indicator that will determine your ability to recover from your betrayal. 

If you’re still holding on to a past betrayal and are ready to rebuild your self-trust, this conversation is for you! Remember, you don’t have to go through this process alone.

Much love,

Laurie
