You couldn’t brace yourself because you never saw it coming. Your sense of safety and security is shattered in an instant, and the shock is imprinted on your body and mind. Your heart breaks, you feel like you got sucker punched, and the pain is so raw, consuming, and overwhelming you can barely breathe. Someone close to you, possibly a family member, partner, or friend, just pulled the rug out from underneath you. You thought this person had your back. You thought the two of you were honoring the same rules, sharing the same moral code, and respecting the same beliefs. This was a person you loved, trusted, and believed.
This is what it feels like to be blindsided by betrayal.
During times of betrayal, when we most need support, sometimes the ones we would turn to first are the betrayers. Other times, we’re saddled with shame and fear. But it’s during these times that we need to learn to trust again. This book offers support, comfort, and community to those struggling with feelings associated with betrayal and guides them to healing from painful experiences of it.
Listeners will learn about and move through five stages from betrayal to breakthrough and will be lovingly guided with tools and strategies along the way. They’ll also learn how predictable healing can be as they listen not only to Debi’s journey but to the stories of others who have learned to cope, heal, and move on from betrayal back to a place of trust and well-being again.
