247: Badass: How to Overcome and Get Past Betrayal with Dr. Debi Silber
Today we have an incredibly important episode. My guest is the founder of Post Betrayal Transformation (PBT) Institute; a holistic psychologist; and a health, mindset, and personal development expert. She’s been on FOX, CBS, The Dr. Oz Show, TEDx (twice), and more. She is also the best-selling author of the book, The Unshakable Woman: 4 Steps to Rebuilding Your Body, Mind, and Life After a Life Crisis, and her newest book, Trust Again: Overcoming Betrayal and Regaining Health, Confidence, and Happiness.
Dr. Debi Silber is an incredible leader when it comes to understanding the psychology, physiology, and mindset that we need to be able to approach the idea of betrayal.
In this episode, Debi shares her own life experience with betrayal, the five stages of betrayal that you should know about, and the one stage of betrayal in particular where we all get stuck: the stage that prevents us from healing, moving forward, and living a life with meaning.
This conversation was truly enlightening and I cannot wait for you all to tune in to hear Dr. Debi Silber’s wisdom.

“I studied betrayal; what holds us back, what helps us heal, and what happens to us … when the people closest to us lie, cheat, and deceive. That study led to three groundbreaking discoveries which changed my health, my business, my family, and my life.” — Dr. Debi Silber
“I define [betrayal] as the breaking of a spoken or unspoken rule. And every relationship has them. The more you trust and the deeper you depend on them, the deeper the betrayal.” — Dr. Debi Silber
