Betrayal—whether from a partner, a friend, a family member, or even an employer—is more than just an emotional wound. It deeply affects your physical health, career success, and ability to form meaningful relationships. In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Dr. Debi Silber, founder of The PBT Institute, a global expert on betrayal trauma and healing.
