215. Stop Managing Burnout and Actually Heal It with Trisha Wolfe

from The Traveling Therapist Podcast · host Kym Tolson

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.Connect with Trisha:Linktree https://linktr.ee/thetrishawolfeInstagram https://www.instagram.com/thetrishawolfe/TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@thetrishawolfeAre you ready to take the plunge and become a Traveling Therapist?
