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. 🐾🩺💜🥼

Anxiety and uncertainty can be quite triggering for our nervous systems, especially in situations in which we feel we have no control. Um, election results, anyone..? 🙋‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️

This week on the Daring DVM Podcast, I’m sharing

• How to manage anxiety in the face of uncertainty
• A common lie that our brains tell us about the future that triggers our fight-or-flight response (yes, my brain does this, too!)
• Exactly how to overcome that fear
• How to feel in control of your emotions
• How to respond to anxiety in ways that empower you, as well as take courageous action to protect yourself and help others.

Even if you are happy or seemingly unaffected by our political environment, I still encourage you to listen through the episode because these tools can be used in any situation of uncertainty, no matter if they’re at home, at work, or within the country at large.
