Ep91: Compassion Fatigue - What You Need to Know

Today on The Daring DVM Podcast, Dr. Amy Grimm introduces a topic close to the hearts of many in the veterinary world—compassion fatigue, also known as empathic strain. As veterinarians and caregivers, we give so much of ourselves to the animals and people we serve, but sometimes, that can leave us feeling drained. 😔 In this episode, we’ll explore the basics of compassion fatigue and cover five main points that are important for every veterinary professional to know. This is episode #1 in a series that will cover empathic strain in more depth. This episode introduces compassion fatigue, the science behind empathic strain, how to recognize it, and most importantly, the first step to managing it so that we can continue showing up for our patients, our clients, our teams—and ourselves. 🐾🩺💜🥼   LINKS: Schedule a Coaching Conversation with me to start your recovery from empathic strain.
