From Trauma to Transformation: Healing Chronic Health Issues Rooted in Betrayal with Dr. Debi Silber
Manage episode 448744617 series 3607066
n this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, I'm joined by Dr. Debi Silber, founder of the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute, to uncover the hidden ways betrayal can damage physical and emotional health. We explore how unresolved betrayal can trigger chronic issues like leaky gut, immune dysfunction, and hormone imbalances.
We dive into the emotional weight betrayal carries. “It’s one thing to talk about loss, but betrayal? That’s a whole different level of vulnerability.” This hidden shame often leaves people feeling isolated, making it harder to heal. Dr. Debi walks us through the five stages of recovery and how practitioners can help clients move through them to achieve true transformation.
Key Discussion Points:
- How does betrayal affect physical health? How can emotional trauma manifest as physical conditions like leaky gut, immune dysfunction, and adrenal fatigue.
- What are the five stages of betrayal healing?
- What is Post-Betrayal Syndrome?
- Why is betrayal often the missing link in healing chronic health conditions?
- actionable strategies can practitioners use to support emotional and physical recovery.
Here are Dr. Debi’s key questions to move to the next stage of healing betrayal:
1. Am I numbing, avoiding, or distracting? If so, how? Am I walking into the kitchen, I’m not hungry, and I’m raiding the cabinets?
2. What am I pretending not to see? Am I pretending not to see that my relationship is in trouble? Am I pretending not to see that I hate my job?
3. What’s life going to look like in five to ten years if I keep this going?
4. What would life look like in five to ten years if I make changes now?
