What’s the hardest part of veterinary medicine? Most of us wouldn’t identify getting bitten, being pooped on, learning to take well-positioned radiographs, or figuring out how to draw blood on fractious cats as the hard parts of our jobs.

The hard part is feeling stressed out all the time, and we believe that stress comes from things like cranky clients, conversations about money and euthanasia.

The good news is that it doesn’t. We can develop Emotional Resilience and it all starts with understanding the true definitions of “Feel” and using the word appropriate… something most of us are doing wrong.

Developing Emotional Resilience in Veterinary Medicine Requires:

1. Identifying the real emotion we are feeling
2. Identifying the real cause of the emotion
3. Letting go of responsibility for the emotions of others

The quickest way to increase your self-confidence is by developing your emotional resilience.
