Have you ever felt completely blindsided by someone you trusted, leaving you questioning everything? Let's talk about betrayal, why it hurts so deeply, and how we can heal. Today, I speak with Dr. Debi Silber, the founder of the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute, about the complex issue of betrayal. We discuss what betrayal is, why it's so painful, and how it can manifest in different relationships, particularly in the context of empty nesting.

Dr. Debi shares her expertise on post-betrayal syndrome and the common symptoms that arise after betrayal. She emphasizes that healing from betrayal is possible, although it requires a different approach than healing from other types of trauma. This conversation offers valuable insights for anyone who has experienced betrayal, whether from a partner, family member, or even themselves, and provides a pathway toward healing and rebuilding trust.

Key Takeaways from Today’s Episode:

👉 The deep impact of betrayal

👉 Betrayal as a distinct form of trauma

👉 Post-Betrayal Syndrome and its symptoms

👉 The role of self-betrayal in the healing process

👉 How to rebuild trust after it's been broken
