Is distraction quietly wrecking your ability to focus, connect, and feel like yourself? In this episode of Take Out Therapy, Rebecca Hunter explores how technology-fueled distraction isn’t just a time management issue—it might be emotional avoidance in disguise.

You’ll learn:

  • What modern-day dissociation really looks like (hint: it’s in your pocket)
  • How distraction erodes your self-trust, presence, and motivation
  • Straightforward steps to reclaim your focus and reconnect with your life
  • If you’re feeling scattered, overstimulated, and not quite here—this is your invitation to slow down and take your life back, one boundary at a time.

Rebecca Hunter, MSW helps empathic high-achievers (like you) learn practical skills to quiet your racing mind, overcome self-doubt, and actually be present in your life.
