Most of us think the hardest part of traveling more is figuring out the logistics. But for a lot of therapists, giving yourself permission to rest and travel is actually the bigger obstacle. We keep working through quiet Saturday mornings, tell ourselves the trip can wait, and before we know it, years have passed.
In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Allison Rimland, EFT therapist, group practice owner, and founder of Points of Connection Travel, to talk about what actually gets in the way. Allison shares how losing her father shortly after his bucket list trip to Normandy shifted everything for her, and how she turned that wake-up call into a whole new way of living and working.
In This Episode, We Explore…
- Why therapists and entrepreneurs stay stuck in "dream mode" and never take the first step.
- How attachment styles show up in travel planning and in relationships with your travel partner.
- What home exchanging is, how Allison has used it for nine years to travel affordably all over the world, and how you can start too.
- How credit card points and miles can make travel more accessible than you think.
- What intentional travel actually looks like in practice, including how to slow down and let your nervous system rest.
