Why Your Clients May Not Be Experiencing Deep Transformations:
Understanding Post Betrayal Syndrome®

As a coach, therapist, or counselor, you’re dedicated to helping your clients achieve transformative results. But what if your clients are struggling to experience the breakthroughs they’re capable of, despite your best efforts? The answer could lie in something many overlook: unhealed betrayal. It’s much more common than you think, and it significantly affects your clients’ ability to heal and grow.

At The PBT® (Post Betrayal Transformation®) Institute, we’ve had over 100,000 people take our Post Betrayal Syndrome® quiz, revealing the widespread impact of betrayal on physical, emotional, and mental health. Understanding these effects and addressing them directly could be the key to unlocking deeper, lasting transformations for your clients.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the most common symptoms of Post Betrayal Syndrome® and how they may be preventing your clients from fully healing—no matter how amazing your protocols are.

1. Weight Challenges: 45% of Those Betrayed Struggle

Are you a health coach working with clients who just can’t seem to achieve their weight goals? You might be giving them the best nutrition plans and exercise routines, but if they have an unhealed betrayal wound, it could be sabotaging their progress.

Many people who experience betrayal initially can’t hold food down due to the shock, while others eventually turn to food for comfort. This unresolved emotional pain continues to manifest physically, preventing your clients from achieving long-term success. Addressing the root cause—unhealed betrayal—can make a world of difference.

2. Sleep Issues: 68% Struggle with Insomnia

Sleep is essential for healing, both physically and emotionally. But if 68% of people who’ve been betrayed have trouble sleeping, this can seriously prevent their ability to thrive. As a wellness or mindset coach, you may be offering fantastic sleep strategies, but unless you help them heal from their betrayal, these efforts could fall short.

Unhealed betrayal leads to hypervigilance, stress, and anxiety—all of which make falling and staying asleep difficult. By addressing the underlying betrayal, you can help your clients achieve deeper, more restorative sleep.

3. Digestive Issues: 45% Suffer from Gut Problems

Are you a digestive health expert, or do you work with clients who experience chronic gut issues like Crohn’s, IBS, or diverticulitis? It might surprise you to learn that 45% of people who have been betrayed develop digestive problems. These conditions are often worsened by the unresolved emotional stress caused by betrayal.

Even if you provide your clients with top-tier supplements, meal plans, and protocols, their progress may be limited if they’re still carrying the emotional weight of unhealed betrayal. Helping them work through these deeper issues can enhance the effectiveness of your work.

4. Anxiety: 80% Experience Ongoing Anxiety

Life coaches, this one’s for you. Anxiety affects 80% of those dealing with betrayal. You may be guiding your clients through effective mindset strategies, but if they have unresolved betrayal trauma, their anxiety will continue to disrupt their lives.

Unhealed betrayal creates a persistent sense of unease, hyperawareness, and fear. To truly help your clients break free from anxiety, you must address this root cause.

5. Difficulty Concentrating: 62% Can’t Focus

Do your clients struggle to concentrate, no matter how many productivity tips and time management strategies you provide? If 62% of those who’ve been betrayal report issues with focus and concentration, there may be deeper issues at play.

When left unhealed, betrayal keeps individuals stuck in survival mode, making it hard to focus on anything beyond their pain. Once you help your clients heal from betrayal, you’ll notice a significant improvement in their ability to concentrate and perform in both their personal and professional lives.

6. Painful Triggers: 94% Struggle with Triggers

Therapists, do your clients seem to get stuck in painful triggers, unable to move forward? An astounding 94% of betrayed individuals experience these triggers. While you might be working hard to help them manage these responses, understanding the five proven stages of betrayal recovery could accelerate their healing.

Learning how to guide your clients through these stages will allow them to not only manage but also move beyond their triggers, leading to deeper emotional healing.

7. Inability to Trust: 84% Find It Hard to Trust Again

If you’re a dating coach, you’ve likely seen this pattern before: clients move from one relationship to the next, repeating the same mistakes and withholding themselves due to an inability to trust. This is the legacy of unhealed betrayal, which affects 84% of those who have been hurt.

Understanding how to help your clients rebuild trust after betrayal can revolutionize their relationships—not just in dating but also in work, friendships, and family.

8. Fear of Forming Deep Relationships: 67% Hold Back

Lastly, 67% of betrayed individuals prevent themselves from forming deep connections, fearing they’ll be hurt again. If you work in relationship coaching, you may be dealing with clients who are hesitant to open up. By recognizing and addressing their unhealed betrayal, you can help them break through this fear and form more meaningful relationships.
