My favorite podcast!

Rebecca Hunter has a fantastic way of explaining mindfulness, boundary setting, and self care. The tools she shares are essential for those who experience anxiety and overthinking. I highly recommend!
marygwenmolnar

Helpful, useful information. Calming voice. Thank you.

The best out there

This podcast has truly helped me more than decades of therapy. Every single episode I listen to I learn something helpful. Rebecca has a way of breaking things down and getting to the point without being condescending or too technical. Even episodes that I think might not be something I can relate to end up having helpful take aways. I have noticed since she returned that she mentions her show being for busy executives or something like that now. I’m definitely not a busy exec and REALLY hope she doesn’t change up what she was doing and make it more for just those types of people. It would truly be a shame because I feel her knowledge is good for all types of people. Do yourself a favor and pick a few episodes, you can’t go wrong.

So Valuable!

Rebecca gives practical, actionable advice for a healthier self! I always take notes when I listen so I can use the tools she shares. I also booked a discovery call with her recently and it was enormously valuable. Take Out Therapy is the real deal 🙌

Relatable and likable

Rebecca gets to the point quickly. She doesn’t pretend to be perfect. She’s very relatable. Love this podcast.
SleepSavy

Worth More than you “pay” for it.

I’m a woman of few words so, in short, this podcast is great. I’ve gotten more out of it than any session I’ve had with a therapist in person/virtually.
Mcboukni

THE ONE!

Oh my goodness, you guys, you’ve found the one! I truly believe this is the best self help podcast out there. The episodes are only 20 minutes so it’s perfect for literally anyone who is busy life-ing that wants to work on doing it better. Rebecca has such wonderful insight on dealing with everyday issues and speaks about them in a way that’s easy to understand which is so hard to find. It’s like listening to your bestie give you advice, except your bestie is giving great advice that you can actually use to navigate your way healthily through whatever situation you’re dealing with.

Do yourself a favor and start listening to this regularly!

This podcast is so underrated and I want to tell it from the roof top. I’m a person that has had a lot of anxiety about even starting therapy and I feel like this has been a great starting point. Her voice is so calming and what she says makes you feel so heard and not alone in the things you and everyone is going through. Hats off to her and download it today! 🤍🤍🤍🫶🏼 I was sharing this with my whole family and friends by the second episode!

Daily self are

This is the only self help podcast I listen to now. I did explore initially but now have found a 1 podcast to be exactly what I need for my midday walk! I love your project and in am certain your are reaching and impacting sooo many people! Thanks for all you do.

“i didn’t know i need this!”

^ that is exactly what i say after listening to each episode. they’re bite-sized and just the right serving. thank you for all that you do!!!!!

Easily the best self-help podcast

Rebecca is the BEST. Do yourself a favor and listen; do her a favor and rate/review. She gives what we all need — honest, non-overwhelming, thoughtful, human, practical advice. Can’t say enough good things!! Thank you, girl!!
KristinCrowder

Thank you!

This podcast found me when I was finally ready to start untangling a decade of trauma. Rebecca’s thoughts, humor, knowledge (of course) calm me down and help me to think about things in a different way. Listening to her podcast is truly like calling a best friend in the morning while walking the dogs and I’m always feeling recharged after each episode. Is it healthy to binge self help?😅 Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Rebecca. I constantly share and I know this will help so many who can’t afford or may be too scared for their first therapy session. 💖💖💖

The people pleasing episode

The stop people pleasing one really resonated with me!!!!!! I enjoyed it because I cried a lot. This was needed. I have to stop people pleasing

Ease My Troubled Mind

I love this podcast! I went to therapy for years and it saved my life but it also got very expensive and I decided to take a break. I was still feeling the need for some form of therapy and this has been the perfect thing. I can be really hard on myself and these episodes help me to take a step back and be kinder to myself. I always feel calmer and more peaceful after listening. Thanks Rebecca!
have a nice day yall 2020

My friend :)

Thank you for your podcasts. I enjoy them so much! Please upload more often if you can~

Recentering

This podcast has helped me recenter and ground myself when I am not feeling mentally well. I have issues with validating my own feelings and often look for validation external of myself. Takeout therapy reminds me that the validation I seek so deeply can only come from me. Thank you for helping me see myself more clearly and helping me learn to be kinder to myself.
Noah Groeschl

Amazing podcast

I just started listening to podcasts and stumbled across this one. I love how to the point she is. Not only great information but she makes it so personable within a short window of time and that’s a skill not many people can do. You have a new follower for life and I am extremely grateful for all the knowledge you provide to us all:)
zzzooooozzzz

Awesome !!

So glad I found this podcast. Your voice is so soothing. I love it !!!!

Love love love this poo

If you want really helpful, honest, practical advice presented with easy to apply solutions you want to follow and listen to this podcast. Take out therapy is presented in such a uplifting and comfortable way. This is my first review of a podcast, I have adhd and often forget to review things I like or find helpful. I wanted to make sure to for my favorite podcast. It’s well worth your time!

My ADHD doesn’t space out!

1. I really love her personality, it’s positive without being fake. 2. I REALLY like that the episodes are all around 20 minutes because it keeps me tuned in. Other mental health podcasts can be an hour or longer and before I know it, I realize I haven’t been listening for the past however many minutes. 3. The information is ACTUALLY HELPFUL! I’ve gotten away from taking care of myself because I’ve been so focused on taking care of others, and this is the perfect podcast to get back into caring about ME. Love it, sent it to my friends.

Love this podcast.

Excellent information and very engaging.

Accessible Help

Outstanding, accessible, thought provoking and fun sessions to understand the self. Don’t walk away from Rebecca, run toward her to hear what she has to say!
ElBeboPr

Incredibly Helpful

Thank you for making the knowledge available in concise, down to earth manner. Cant wait for the monthly club you are planning to set up. I really struggle with setting up boundaries (work+family balance) which results in stress and anxiety. Thank you for the episodes.

Life changing!!

I’m so thankful for Rebecca’s podcast, she’s so relatable and speaks to the general audience, no over the head jargon. Thank you - Thank you - Thank you!! I will share this with everyone I know needs help!

So Helpful!

Rebecca has helped me so much. I have and still am learning to be the best version of myself. This podcast has increased my self awareness and improved my relationships. Thank you so much.
Little michael pp mouth

So right for me.

Like others here, I’m struggling. Tried online therapy, in person… not clicking. These shorts have helped me so much and I’ve stopped listening to go nowhere podcasts and I’m going through these and loving them. Thank you Rebecca. These have helped me more than you’ll ever know

Audible Relief 🙂

I caught myself breathing a sigh of relief when I heard Rebecca’s recent podcast on Boundaries. The topics she discusses are relevant to everyone on some level. She gets straight to the point in a kind and down-to-earth manner. She is realistic and funny. I love that the episodes are quick, because being a person that doesn’t have a lot of time to dedicate - it’s a relief to get advice/direction/knowledge in a timeframe that actually works for me at this moment in time. She makes listening to her enjoyable and she provides honest and realistic techniques to add into your routine to help you be a better YOU. I look forward to hearing more of her episodes-past & future.

Amazing!!

Your so awesome !!! You totally give the absolute freaking best advice and pass along some of the most important and needed information for all of us !! Thank you . I have learned so much about myself and have only listened to 3 episodes! Thank you and keep being amazing !
BernieinSF

Very grateful for this podcast

Rebecca has helped me through some tough periods in life, all through these quick little episodes. Something about Takeout Therapy’s general approach (vs. my therapist knowing all my business) and more integrated into my everyday routine has really help me find new perspectives and solutions. Thank you for all you do!!

Found this podcast a few months ago and I never miss one. Currently, I am taking Rebecca’s online class and acquiring insight and tools to counteract anxiety. Love her down to earth style and am learning ways to find perspective and find peace.
CakesMcGee

Good information and guidance but….

The information and techniques are helpful and can be easily employed at home BUT stop calling me friend every other sentence. Picked up on that right away and that’s all I could hear after that.

Friend friend friend

I would have enjoyed the content but the speaker said the word friend like a nervous tick, had to be like 20 times in the episode. Found it condescending and distracting. I like the concept otherwise but being called friend repeatedly got annoying.
