“I can’t even find the words to properly describe how instrumental you have been in helping me change my life. When I came to you I felt broken and defeated. I wanted to change my life, I just didn’t know how or where to start. With your help I created Debra 2.0, the new and improved version of myself that I always dreamed I could be. For those who feel lost, beaten down or in despair, they owe it to themselves to call you. I’m so glad I did!”

“Before I came to the retreat, I was stuck. I was betrayed over seven years ago and been living in my story and not moving forward. I guess you'd say Stage Three for many years so when I saw this opportunity, I jumped at it. And I'm so glad I did. I really feel like it was the push I needed to get out of Stage Three and put myself first. Now I'm so excited about what the future holds.

The biggest takeaways are meeting the other people here at the retreat, not feeling alone and really having so much in common with everyone and the bonds we made that I feel like will last for years to come. Also the access to Dr. Debi was hugely important to me. I was not currently a member of Transform. So I really only knew her through the coffee chats and her videos and things. So just being able to speak with her and talk to her was amazing. And really doing some of the hands on activities we did are exactly what I needed to push forward which isn't something I was doing with pen and paper.”

“Before the retreat I was feeling like I made progress, then I got stuck. Then I signed up for the retreat. It’s not even over yet and I feel like I not only am not stuck but I know exactly where I'm going. It's been very inspirational. I feel entirely different and more positive and inspired than the stuck feeling I had prior to coming to a retreat.

My biggest takeaways? I've never been able to really visualize and see myself in the future but Dr. Debi has this activity that allowed me to see what my life could be like-I was surprised since I had felt so stuck before. And I really got a message that I have to give myself the time and the space to feel safe in order to really heal. And the third one was how to create our new life. We really have to believe differently and act differently in order to be different. That really made sense that I need to start behaving in a way that will create the change I want. If I do and be the same, I will have the exact same life. It's time to do something different.”

‘Thank you for founding PBT and creating this clarifying and cleansing retreat to help others who are actively searching for guidance and action oriented steps forward. Your vision and expertise in creating a synergistic team was so helpful. I got exactly what I needed at this stage of my healing to healed journey.’

"I don't know if I've ever been this happy before. I'm so grateful for PBT-so blessed. I KNOW I'll get there and that it's just a work in progress! I'm almost crying as I'm writing this to you right now. Thank you so much again for PBT!!! When you said nothing else like this exists, you were so right because I've been to 8 therapists in the last 2.5 years, tried EMDR, and nothing has worked until NOW. You're seriously such an angel!"

Before this retreat:  I felt like I was in a pretty strong healed state and not sure if I needed to attend; what it would do for me. But I really wanted to meet Dr. Debi, the team, as well as other PBT community members. 

After this retreat: Well ... growth is funny - you just don't know what you don't know! The exercises we did (and in that amazing healing energy of expert practitioners and fellow PBT members) really walked me through my own walls, old beliefs, held pain, and vision of what my life is becoming and can truly be. I am so grateful that I attended to really focus on the inner work with a clear heart, and with expert support in the room! The experiences opened my mind and heart to new ways of thinking, living and moving forward with purpose. My betrayal trauma really seemed to transform into a long ago chapter of my life that gave birth to a wonderful life now and ahead of me. 

Biggest takeaway: Trusting ourselves to know what we need is so hard in the days, months and years after intimate partner betrayal trauma. Above all else - ask and trust yourself to know what you need. It's all inside you and within your power, so listen with love, trust and courage.

“I came to the retreat not knowing exactly what to expect. It was very inspiring. Meeting other people listening to how to go through the Stages was very empowering. I walked out today realizing this was life changing. I'm thankful for meeting a lot of great people who think the same way that I do. We all had so much in common. At first they were strangers now they are family.

I wanted to thank you personally that I could be part of this amazing experience, I came back changed and also the 6 months’ work with you was the best investment I have done in myself, I will continue another six months in the Mastermind group and then I should be the new person I want to be.”
