The Tactile Traveler

Author: Nick Isenberg

The goal of this podcast is to empower blind and low-vision people to explore the world, and help our sighted friends see the world in a new way. Frequently, as people lose their eyesight, they become more and more isolated. The Tactile Traveler hopes to empower people, not only to go literally around the world, but around the block to new adventures in their lives.

The Tactile Traveler #74: How to Choose A Therapist, Don’t Grab a Blind Person, Gunshot Trauma
Episode 73
Tuesday, 3 March, 2026

How do you choose the right therapist? What does being shot have to do with blindness? And why is grabbing a blind person one of the most harmful things you can do — even if you’re “just trying to help”?In this episode, we unpack trauma, recovery, and respect. From navigating mental health care to understanding how violence can cause vision loss, to learning how to properly support blind individuals, this conversation is about autonomy, awareness, and doing better.
