On this episode of Mind Over Matter, Dr. Debi Silber, founder of the Post-Betrayal Transformation Institute, bestselling author, and creator of National Forgiveness Day, shares her groundbreaking research on betrayal and healing. She explains how unhealed betrayal doesn’t simply fade with time—it can silently shape health, career performance, and relationships for decades. Dr. Silber reveals the five proven, predictable stages of healing betrayal, why so many people get stuck, and how forgiveness—when redefined—can free us physically, mentally, and emotionally. This conversation reframes betrayal from a wound that lingers to a catalyst for transformation.
