Epi 45: Burnout & Boundaries (Part II): The Hidden Cost of Avoiding Boundaries and How It Fuels Burnout

from Stop the Burnout Podcast · host Dr. Amber Parks, DVM, DABVP

In Part II of the Burnout & Boundaries mini-series, we go deeper into why boundaries are so hard to hold, including the subconscious patterns that keep many veterinary professionals stuck in cycles of overgiving and guilt. This phase of boundary work is often confusing and uncomfortable, and it’s frequently mistaken for failure when it’s actually part of the process. This episode explores what happens when boundaries aren’t set, including the hidden costs that may not feel obvious in the moment but can quietly contribute to chronic stress and burnout over time. We’ll walk through the real, lived experience of holding boundaries, including the guilt, nervous system discomfort, and identity shifts that often show up after you stop overgiving. If you’ve ever thought, “I set the boundary… so why do I still feel bad?” this conversation will make everything click.   Join me for The Vet Reset Masterclass - it's FREE!
