4 Categories of Veterinary Anxiety
When I look back at my darkest days in veterinary practice, I can still feel the anxiety.
I remember the nights I didn’t sleep much because I was so worried about a patient……or replaying a client interaction over and over in my mind…. or dreading the surgery on my schedule the next day….
Sound familiar? Can you relate?
I owned a solo doctor practice for nearly 5 years… and every day I carried around what I call “Potential GDV Anxiety”.
I’m so thankful one never actually came in… but the emotional well-being I lost to that worthless anxiety can’t really be measured.
There are 4 Categories of Veterinary Anxiety:
1. Personal Inexperience
2. Unexpected Events (my “Potential GDV Anxiety” fits here 🤣)
3. Human Interactions
4. Prior Results
On a Facebook Live Event, I talked about each of these, and described the difference in Stress, Worry & Anxiety.
(Nope, they’re not all the same thing!).

Looking back, if I’d have had the knowledge and tools I have now, I’m confident I would have had an entirely different experience…
It is this belief that prompted me to create Joyful DVM in the first place… so I can help people just like you to break out of the Anxiety Trap, stop regretting your career choice, and learn to enjoy your life!
