The Traveling Therapist Podcast
Hi, I'm Kym Tolson, and I'm the traveling therapist. It's my passion to teach therapists how to navigate online private practices and multiple income streams so they can travel the world. I'm a digital nomad. With a virtual insurance based private therapy practice and a multi six figure coaching business. I'm obsessed with entrepreneurship and developing tools that can help therapists live an adventurous lifestyle. In this podcast, I will discuss my journey as a digital nomad. I'll chat with other traveling therapists and help you navigate the complexities of running an online insurance based practice. I'm so glad to have you with me on this journey.

215. Stop Managing Burnout and Actually Heal It with Trisha Wolfe
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
