When Traditional Coaching Isn’t Enough
The moment I realized traditional coaching wasn’t enough for betrayal recovery…
After experiencing betrayal myself and conducting doctoral research on this topic, I made three groundbreaking discoveries:
- Betrayal recovery is different from other forms of healing
- Recovery follows 5 proven, predictable stages
- There are measurable symptoms of betrayal (Post Betrayal Syndrome®)
That’s why I created the PBT® (Post Betrayal Transformation) Certification—the #1 research-based betrayal recovery training for business, life, health and leadership coaches.
I was seeing coaches everywhere encounter clients who seemed “stuck” despite their best efforts. These coaches were brilliant and talented, but they didn’t have the tools to recognize and address betrayal trauma. Betrayal is different and that’s why it requires a different approach.
Here’s what Steven said after counseling thousands of people for 37 years:
“After 18 years of torment with anger, bitterness, resentment, hatred and chronic unforgiveness – I finally found that what I KNEW to be so, is true! And that is that betrayal is different from anything I’ve ever encountered personally, or professionally as a 37-year counseling professional. Thanks for you work Debi, you’re truly a pioneer – a trailblazer even – and I’ll never be able to thank you enough for what you’ve accomplished in the lives of so many – including mine.”
-Steven, M.Ed., CCBT, CBGT, CPSP and PBT® Practitioner
Traditional mindset work doesn’t touch these deep wounds. Goal-setting strategies bounce right off. Even deep inner work seems to hit a wall.
Once coaches learn to identify and address betrayal patterns, their client transformations become remarkable.
That’s the power of specialized, research-based training. It doesn’t just add another skill to your toolkit—it gives you the ability to help clients who’ve been struggling despite everyone’s best efforts.
After 34+ years building businesses, I also created PBT® Pro to teach certified coaches how to build thriving practices around this expertise.
The betrayal recovery field is exploding. Coaches with proper training are becoming the go-to referrals for the cases others can’t help.
