In this episode of Heal with Kat opens a raw and revealing conversation around one of the deepest emotional wounds we can experience: betrayal. Dr. Debi Silber, founder of the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute, joins to unravel the layered, often misunderstood impact betrayal has on the body, mind, and spirit.Drawing from her own personal ruptures and years of research during her PhD in transpersonal psychology, Dr. Silber brings forward a compassionate, science-backed framework for healing what she calls Post Betrayal Syndrome. She breaks down its symptoms, why so many get stuck in the pain, and the five distinct stages of transformation available after betrayal.Together, the conversation moves through the necessity of forgiveness—not as a spiritual bypass, but as a reclamation of self. It explores the emotional, energetic, and soul-level repair that must take place for true healing to occur—and how, on the other side of devastation, there is real potential for rebirth.This is an episode for anyone navigating the aftermath of betrayal, or supporting someone who is. It’s a reminder that while betrayal can break us open, it can also be the beginning of a deeper return to who we really are.00:00 Introduction08:24 The Stages of Healing from Betrayal11:09 Transforming Betrayal into Growth25:00 Navigating Stages of Healing from Betrayal32:20 The Role of Forgiveness in Healing37:44 Embracing Complexity in Human Experience42:37 Transformative Insights from Transpersonal PsychologyConnect with Kat:🤍  /https://www.instagram.com/kat_daou/🤍  /https://www.tiktok.com/@healwithkatpod🤍 /https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCix2tpYqYdRcMNNAqKfYJew🤍  / https://www.katdaou.com Connect with Debi: 🩶 / https://www.youtube.com/c/debisilber🩶 / https://thepbtinstitute.com/get-certified/🩶 /https://thepbtinstitute.com/pbs-quiz/🩶 /https://thepbtinstitute.com/ Links: Insight Timer: https://insighttimer.com/katdaou Cycle Breaker Quiz Link:https://www.tryinteract.com/share/quiz/665bc191d9650a00154a4a22Age Mapping Mini Course Link:https://www.katdaou.com/agemap Guest Bio: Dr. Debi Silber, Founder of the PBT (Post Betrayal Transformation) Institute and National Forgiveness Day (celebrated annually on September 1st), is an award winning speaker, and a 2-time #1 International bestselling author.

 In this episode of Heal with Kat, Kat sits down with Liam Naden—a man whose life story reminds us of the profound wisdom available in surrender. Together, we journey through Liam’s remarkable transformation: from living the high life as a millionaire to finding himself homeless, and ultimately discovering peace and fulfillment as a nomad sailing the seas on a catamaran for over 15 years.In this conversation we discover what happens when we release control, dissolve the stories that bind us, and return to our essential nature—one rooted not in survival, but in thriving. Liam helps us explore the inner workings of the brain, revealing how we can move from the fear-based survival brain into the thriving brain, where flow, joy, and clarity reside.We reflect on how language—though powerful—can fragment us from ourselves and each other, creating the illusion of separation. This illusion, as Liam shares, is often at the heart of our inner suffering. By embracing the unknown and releasing the narratives of "not enough," we can experience life in its most natural and whole state. 00:00 Introduction to Nomadic Living and Personal Journey08:49 The Turning Point: From Success to Struggle14:47 Redefining Success: The Shift from Struggle to Flow24:23 The Big Shift: Agriculture and Its Impact on Humanity30:19 The Impact of Language on Human Existence35:29 The Dangers of Storytelling and Separation45:26 Understanding the Thriving Brain51:28 Practical Steps to Shift into the Thriving BrainConnect with Kat: 🤍  /https://www.instagram.com/kat_daou/🤍  / https://www.tiktok.com/@healwithkatpod🤍  / https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCix2tpYqYdRcMNNAqKfYJew🤍  / https://www.katdaou.com Connect with Liam:🩶 /https://liamnaden.com/the-four-part-brain-model/🩶 /https://liamnaden.com/brain-quiz/ 🩶 / https://liamnaden.com/ ✨ Want to win a FREE Ancestral Intuitive Reading with Kat?All you need to do is SUBSCRIBE, RATE, & REVIEW this episode.Screenshot that and send it to Kat on Instagram (link above) to enter your name in to win!Winners announced on the last day of each month on instagram stories. Links: Insight Timer: https://insighttimer.com/katdaou Cycle Breaker Quiz :https://www.tryinteract.com/share/quiz/665bc191d9650a00154a4a22 Age Mapping Mini Course:https://www.katdaou.com/agemapGuest Bio: Liam Naden is a neuroscience-based success coach, author, and speaker who helps people escape stress, overthinking, and struggle - by showing them how to use their brain the way nature designed.
