Identifying Unhealthy Boundaries in Veterinary Medicine | Episode 39 | Reviving Vet Med

Reviving Vet Med

If you have ever given your cell number to a client when you didn’t want to, covered a shift for a team member when you felt exhausted and overwhelmed, or said yes to a neighbor who asked you for a work-related favor on your day off, then you are not alone. Unhealthy boundaries are common among veterinary team members and not only impact our relationships with others, but set us up for burnout and poor mental health.

In this episode, we discuss the different types of unhealthy boundaries commonly experienced by veterinary professionals, as well as strategies for recognizing those boundaries if they aren’t obvious to you. Practical tools and strategies for identifying unhealthy boundaries in the moment by tuning into feelings, thoughts, and sensations are also covered.
