In the first of a two-part series, this episode of "The Resilient Vet" examines the roots of people-pleasing in veterinary medicine, tracing how early experiences and professional culture can reinforce a reluctance to set limits.
Most veterinary professionals are highly skilled at saying yes, and it may come at a greater cost than many realize. In this first episode of a two-part series, cohost Jennifer Edwards, DVM, ACC, CPC, ELI-MP, goes beneath the surface of burnout and overaccommodation to explore where the inability to say no actually comes from. Spoiler: it starts long before veterinary school. For those who have felt guilty for having limits or wondered why saying no can feel threatening, this conversation is where that story starts to make sense.
