🎙 Episode 34 — Transforming Betrayal: Navigating Divorce and Healing with Dr. Debi Silber

Welcome back to High Vibe Divorce! In this powerful episode, Melissa sits down with Dr. Debi Silber, a holistic psychologist, bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and founder of the Post Betrayal Transformation (PBT) Institute, to talk about something many divorcing individuals experience—but rarely understand deeply: betrayal.

Whether you’ve been cheated on, blindsided by divorce papers, or deceived in other painful ways, this episode offers validating insights, hope, and tools for healing. Dr. Debi shares her own story of deep betrayal and how it launched her groundbreaking PhD study on betrayal trauma, leading to three major discoveries that are helping people all over the world transform their pain into power.

Together, Melissa and Dr. Debi explore:

• What makes betrayal trauma different from other forms of trauma

• The 5 stages of Post Betrayal Transformation—and how to move through them

• Why staying stuck in pain (stage 3!) is more common than you think

• How betrayal affects your body, mind, and relationships—and how to begin healing

• The surprising ways betrayal may be tied to chronic health issues, anxiety, and difficulty trusting

• The power of deliberate healing and how your divorce can become a launchpad for personal transformation

• Why revenge-based divorce tactics hurt you more than they help—and how slowing down the process can be a gift

• The real meaning of “hard now, easy later”

✨ Affirmation of the Episode (from the Divine Abundance Oracle Deck):
"Freedom — I no longer want this fiery ring of resentment to block the good. Release me from its bonds."

💫 Whether you're in the throes of betrayal or supporting someone who is, this conversation is full of practical wisdom, deep compassion, and empowering perspective shifts. You’ll leave with a better understanding of how to reclaim your power, trust yourself again, and rebuild from the inside out.
