From Betrayal To Breakthrough

424: The Performance Killer No One's Talking About: Betrayal Trauma at Work


Listen Later

In this powerful, eye-opening masterclass, Dr. Debi Silber explores the hidden ways unhealed betrayal trauma disrupts workplace performance, leadership, team dynamics, and personal well-being. From brain fog and burnout to disengagement and chronic stress, betrayal at work and in life silently chips away at trust, productivity, and engagement—until it's named and healed. You'll also hear from several Certified PBT® Coaches and Practitioners sharing real-world examples, healing insights, and how the PBT Method transforms both individuals and organizations.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why betrayal is a unique form of trauma that requires a specific kind of healing

  • The 3 groundbreaking discoveries from Dr. Debi's PhD study on betrayal

  • How betrayal shows up at work (emotional volatility, imposter syndrome, absenteeism, inability to trust or delegate)

  • Post Betrayal Syndrome®: Symptoms and statistics from 100,000+ survey respondents

  • How unhealed betrayal is misdiagnosed as stress, burnout, leadership breakdown, or low morale

  • The 5 Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough—and how to move through them
