Betrayal isn’t just about broken promises — it shatters trust, identity, and safety all at once.
In this episode of American Masculinity, Tim Wienecke talks with Dr. Debi Silber, founder of the PBT Institute and creator of the Post-Betrayal Transformation framework. Drawing on research with over 100,000 participants, Dr. Debi explains why betrayal trauma is different from other wounds, the symptoms of Post-Betrayal Syndrome™, and the five stages of healing. Together, they explore why men often suffer in silence — and how betrayal, when faced honestly, can become a catalyst for transformation.

The American Masculinity Podcast™ is hosted by Timothy Wienecke — licensed psychotherapist, Air Force veteran, and men’s advocate.
Real conversations about masculinity, mental health, growth, and how men can show up better — as partners, leaders, and friends.
We focus on grounded tools, not yelling or clichés. If you have questions or want a tool for something you're wrestling with, leave a comment or send a message — your feedback shapes what we build next.
Note: While this doesn’t replace therapy, it might help you notice something worth exploring.
