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.

Demystifying Mindfulness: The How Skills
With stress levels through the roof, we could all benefit from a little mindfulness. This season of A Therapist Takes Her Own Advice is all about making mindfulness understandable and accessible to everyone.
In this episode, David and I are talking about the DBT How Skills. These skills outline how to practice mindfulness. The How Skills are Nonjudgmentally, One-mindfully and Effectively.
Nonjudgmentally is noticing without adding opinions, interpretations or evaluations. The goal is to see reality as it is.
One-mindfully means being in the moment and doing one thing at a time. It’s the opposite of multi-tasking which divides attention, and only gives you the illusion of being more productive.
Effectively means cting as skillfully as possible to achieve the goal at hand. Focus on the situation at hand, not the situation you wish you were in or what is fair or unfair.
