Epi 44: Burnout & Boundaries (Part I): The Neuroscience of Why Saying No Feels Hard and the Signs You Need a Boundary
from Stop the Burnout Podcast · host Dr. Amber Parks, DVM, DABVP
If boundaries feel exhausting, uncomfortable, or downright impossible in veterinary medicine (or in life in general!), there’s a reason, and it has nothing to do with willpower or communication skills. In Part I of this mini-series, we talk about why boundaries are so closely tied to stress, people-pleasing, and burnout in veterinary medicine. This episode lays the foundation for understanding why saying yes becomes automatic, why guilt shows up when you try to say no, and why most boundary advice fails burned-out high achievers. This episode also shares veterinary medicine–specific boundaries that can be set, along with how one of my clients regained her time (and her lunch break!) back in her schedule, even when she thought she had no options.
