Epi 47: The Shame Pattern That Slowed My Burnout Recovery and How to Avoid It
from Stop the Burnout Podcast · host Dr. Amber Parks, DVM, DABVP
Burnout recovery isn’t always prolonged by a heavy workload, crazy schedules, or a lack of boundaries. Sometimes it is slowed by patterns we do not consciously recognize. In this episode, I share a personal story about how shame showed up for me and how, looking back, it clearly slowed my recovery from burnout without me realizing it at the time. I explain how shame differs from guilt, why it feels like a threat to the brain, how it activates the fight-or-flight survival response, and how it fuels overthinking, self-blame, and chronic stress in high-achieving veterinary professionals. If you have tried different approaches to heal and still wondered why burnout recovery has not fully stuck, this episode will help you identify what may be getting in the way.
