A Therapist Takes Her Own Advice
A Therapist Takes Her Own Advice is a podcast about healing from the inside out. When traditional treatments for depression stopped working, psychotherapist Rebekah Shackney turned to alternative medicine, breathwork, and spiritual practices to find her way forward.
Each episode offers honest conversations about emotional healing, trauma recovery, and the often nonlinear path to feeling whole. Whether you’re a fellow therapist, a seeker, or someone navigating your own transformation, this show offers insight, tools, and community for the journey.

BONUS EPISODE - Self-Care
Right now, so many people are chronically stressed and this takes a huge toll on mental as well as physical health. As a result, the term self-care gets thrown around a lot. In this bonus episode, my producer/husband David Shackney and I demystify selfcare. We discuss what it is, why it’s important and how to practice it.
Self-care is anything that we do to preserve health, well-being and increase happiness
Self-care looks different for each individual. Some people practice it by gardening, journaling and socializing with friends, while others prefer yoga, therapy and alone time. No matter what you do, during these very stressful times, selfcare is a necessity.
· Physical self-care includes things like eating well, exercising, getting enough sleep, attending to medical issues, getting regular massage
· Emotional self-care includes things like a seeing a therapist, journaling, attending to the breath, connecting with friends and family, taking time for yourself, expressing creativity
· Spiritual self-care includes things like meditation, prayer, connecting with nature, practicing gratitude, offering compassion for self and others.
It’s important to choose activities you enjoy. If you hate the gym choose another way to exercise.
Let me know how you practice selfcare. Send my a message on my A Therapist Takes Her own Advice Facebook page.
