134- Critical Stages to Get Through Betrayal with Dr. Debi Silber

November 5, 2020


We've all experienced some sort of betrayal. It could be a loved one that told others one of your secrets. Or it could be your maid of honor that never showed up to the wedding. What we do know is that betrayal hurts, and it takes some time to get over.

However, a lot of times we don't necessarily get over it, and that betrayal then shapes our new lives. It gives you a reason to push others away, or have a hard time of trusting others. In some instances, it can lead to personal self destruction, where you go down a path of drugs or alcohol, or even use food as your escape.

Dr. Debi Silber explains to us that there are different stages of betrayal that we go through to get over it. However, often times we get stuck at stage 3, and we can be there for decades. Learn how to move through post betrayal syndrome and create a new life that is based around healthy habits.
