Dr. Debbi Silber shares her journey from personal betrayal to becoming a leading expert in post-betrayal syndrome, revealing the predictable path to healing that can transform pain into purpose. Her groundbreaking research identifies the specific physical, mental, and emotional symptoms that affect betrayal survivors, while providing a clear roadmap through five stages of recovery that anyone can follow.
• Defining betrayal as the breaking of spoken or unspoken rules in a relationship
• Physical symptoms of post-betrayal syndrome include low energy, sleep issues, and digestive problems
• Mental symptoms include feeling overwhelmed, inability to focus, and difficulty concentrating
• Emotional symptoms include extreme sadness, anger, and most significantly, an inability to trust
• Most people get stuck in stage three (survival mode) where they numb their pain and cling to their story
• Moving to stages four and five requires letting go of what no longer serves you
• Four powerful questions to ask yourself to begin healing: Are you numbing/avoiding? What are you pretending not to see? What happens if you continue this path? What could happen if you change?
• The choice between "hard now, easy later" versus "easy now, hard later"
• Transformation begins when you tell yourself the truth
