Ep99: Preventing Empathic Strain aka Compassion Fatigue

If you’ve ever felt exhausted from giving so much of yourself to this profession, this episode is for you. Empathic strain is not something you just have to endure. Yes, it is considered an occupational hazard of veterinary medicine, AND we all have the opportunity to recognize where we are, address our situations, and heal. And that’s exactly what we are doing in this episode! This week on the Daring DVM Podcast, we’re going to cover: How we can make veterinary workplaces more psychologically safe to minimize our risk of empathic strain What you can do to take care of yourself and others.   As you’re listening to this episode, I encourage you to ask yourself: “What is one-small step I can implement today to help me decrease my stress and my risk of burnout and compassion fatigue?” This episode follows last week’s one on The Five Stages of Empathic Strain.   LINKS: 🥳 Celebrating 100 Episodes Coaching Giveaway!!!
