Ep91: Compassion Fatigue - What You Need to Know

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. 🐾🩺💜🥼

Ep85: How to Think New Thoughts and Actually BELIEVE Them

Changing your thoughts is simple. 🧠
Here's a step-by-step proven technique to help you do so. 🤩
In this episode of the Daring DVM Podcast, I teach you how to rewire your brain using a simple and effective coaching tool.
We're discussing the 3 C's of mind management, how to use neuroplasticity (thought work) to change your brain structure and, therefore, your thoughts, and the role of your nervous system in this process.
We'll use two common coaching examples, imposter syndrome and body image.
I love using these examples because while we logically know that, as veterinarians, we are qualified to do our jobs, at times, we still find it difficult to believe. And as women, we logically know that we have inherent self-worth, yet our inner-critic voice still makes us doubt ourselves and how we look.
Come learn how to retrain your brain, eliminate your critical thinking, and rewrite your inner narrative.
Yes, the voice in your head can totally be nice to you! You just have to teach your brain how to talk to you.
If you'd like help changing the way you think about yourself and are ready to take that next step, hop on my calendar for a free coaching consultation, or find out more at www.daringdvm.com.
