info_outlineDr. Debi Silber addresses betrayal from her life experience and doctoral studies. Some people live with the effects of betrayal that tend to erode us, similar to untreated cancer. Broken trust can take much longer to restore than the time to originally establish that trust. “I will never trust you again” is a familiar expression of betrayal. Dr. Silber and her husband’s marriage ended because of betrayal, and she married him again because of his and her respective transformations. Dr. Silber has discovered the research-based and proven Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough we go through if we are to fully heal physically, mentally and emotionally, from betrayal. When we do, we can love again, feel safe again, trust again. She has two quizzes at https://thepbtinstitute.com/ that can help us determine if betrayal is adversely affecting our life and mental health.
