About This Podcast

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.
