About this episode

This episode discusses dialectical thinking as a way to manage hope and heartbreak in animal welfare to reduce burnout.

In this episode of Beyond Compassion Fatigue, I explore a powerful mindset shift that can dramatically reduce burnout in animal care, rescue, veterinary medicine, and advocacy: dialectical thinking, also known as both/and thinking. If you’ve ever felt like you had to choose between being hopeful or being realistic, strong or struggling, this episode challenges that belief.
