Betrayal hits hard. Whether from a loved one, a colleague, or a friend, the pain can feel like a deep wound that never fully heals. But what if there was a clear, predictable way to heal from betrayal? In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Debi Silber whose groundbreaking research has uncovered the specific steps to move past betrayal and rebuild your life from the ground up.

Dr. Debi Silber, Founder of the PBT (Post Betrayal Transformation) Institute and National Forgiveness Day (celebrated annually on September 1st), is an award winning speaker, and a 2-time #1 International bestselling author. Her podcast: From Betrayal to Breakthrough is also globally ranked within the top 1.5% of podcasts. Her recent PhD study on how we experience betrayal made 3 groundbreaking discoveries that changes how long it takes to heal. In addition to being on FOX, CBS, The Dr. Oz Show, TEDx (twice) and more, she’s dedicated to helping people move past their betrayals as well as any other blocks preventing them from the health, work, relationships, confidence, and happiness they want most.

Dr. Debi shares the powerful revelations from her PhD study on betrayal, including why time alone doesn’t heal betrayal and how betrayal impacts every aspect of our lives—from physical health to emotional well-being.
