Burnout doesn't always look like falling apart. For a lot of therapists, it looks like keeping up, staying on top of it, and pushing through until there's nothing left. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Trisha Wolfe, a trauma therapist, researcher, and educator who spent years studying burnout in therapists while living it herself.

Trisha shares what finally shifted for her, and it wasn't adding more wellness habits to her list. It was learning to observe herself and understanding why the survival strategies that made her a great therapist were also the ones keeping her stuck. And she did all of this while building a life in Europe with one suitcase and no return ticket.

In This Episode, We Explore…

• Why therapists are especially vulnerable to burnout and what's actually driving it.
• The difference between managing burnout and getting to the root of it.
• How somatic therapy and self-observation helped Trisha recover and eventually make the leap to full-time travel.
• The Primal Trust program and why it worked when other approaches didn't.
• Navigating European visas, taxes, and schedules as a traveling therapist.
• What it looks like to build a work schedule around your nervous system, not a nine-to-five default.

Becoming a travel agent sounds appealing, especially when you're burned out and looking for something that actually fits your life. But most people don't know what it really involves, how much it costs to get started, what you can realistically earn, or whether you can do it alongside everything else you're already managing.

In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Lindsay Dollinger, travel agency owner and host of the Passports, Profits, and Pixie Dust podcast, to get into all of it. Lindsay started as a travel agent in 2019 while still teaching high school Spanish full-time, and she now runs her own agency with agents working under her. She breaks down exactly what the path looks like, what it costs, and why it might be more doable than you think.

In This Episode, We Explore…

• How becoming a travel agent works and what the difference is between an agent and an agency owner.
• Why you can realistically do this part-time without monthly minimums or sales quotas.
• What startup costs actually look like and how little you need to get going.
• The travel agent perks, FAM trips, and commission structures worth knowing about.
• Why travel insurance is the one thing Lindsay says every traveler needs to stop skipping.

Creating a truly affirming space for the LGBTQ+ community starts before a client ever walks through your door. Most therapists have good intentions, but good intentions are not the same as knowing what to actually do.

In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Eric Sullivan, a proud queer therapist and founder of Proud Practice, who spent a year traveling the globe and came home with a renewed sense of purpose. From Argentina to Scandinavia to Southeast Asia, Eric experienced firsthand how differently the queer community is treated around the world, and it deepened his commitment to helping therapy practices become fully LGBTQ+ inclusive from the inside out.

In This Episode, We Explore…

• How traveling solo for a year across four continents shaped Eric's mission to serve the LGBTQ+ community.
• What queer clients are looking for before they even book a session.
• Three practical steps therapists can take right now to signal safety and affirmation.
• Why asking about sexual orientation, gender identity, and pronouns in your intake is non-negotiable.
• How Eric's new training program and quiz at proudpractice.com/quiz helps practices assess and improve where they already are.
