How to Recognize Unhealed Betrayal in Your Clients (And Finally Help Them Break Through)

As a coach, therapist, or health practitioner, you’ve seen it too many times:

A client who has everything going for them — clear goals, solid strategy, genuine motivation — yet they remain painfully stuck.

You’ve tried every tool in your toolbox: mindset work, somatic practices, trauma-informed protocols, nervous-system regulation… and still, the needle barely moves.

What if the real block isn’t “fear of success,” “self-sabotage,” or even garden-variety trauma?

What if it’s unhealed betrayal — and you’ve been missing it?

Why Betrayal Is Different From Any Other Trauma

Betrayal doesn’t just break a heart. It shatters three core pillars all at once:

• Identity (“Who am I if the person I trusted most lied?”)
• Safety (“The world isn’t safe anymore”)
• Trust (“I can’t even trust myself to choose safe people”)

This triple fracture creates a very specific kind of wound that generic healing approaches rarely touch. The result? Clients stay in survival mode for years — experiencing chronic stress, burnout, gut issues, low confidence, micromanaging tendencies, emotional eating, or an inability to make decisions — even after therapy and coaching.

The Hidden Signs of Unhealed Betrayal in Clients

Look for these red flags (most coaches misdiagnose them):

• Sudden loss of confidence after a major life or business success
• Chronic second-guessing or inability to delegate
• Physical symptoms with no medical explanation (IBS, autoimmune flares, adrenal fatigue)
• Repeating the same relational or business patterns despite awareness
• Numbing behaviors that started or worsened after a specific event
• Deep exhaustion that rest doesn’t fix
• A “nothing is wrong but everything feels wrong” presentation

If you’ve ever thought, “This client should be soaring by now,” betrayal is often the missing piece.

The Proven Solution: The Post Betrayal Transformation® (PBT) Framework

Dr. Debi Silber, founder of The PBT (Post Betrayal Transformation) Institute, conducted a PhD study on betrayal and discovered something groundbreaking:

Healing from betrayal follows five predictable stages (just like grief), and most people get stuck in Stage 3 (survival instincts + smallest version of themselves).

Her research-backed, step-by-step model moves clients from:

Stage 1 – Shock & devastation → Stage 5 – A complete rebirth of trust, identity, and confidence

Thousands of coaches, therapists, and health practitioners worldwide now use this framework because it works when everything else fails.
