• 374: The hidden cost of staying strong: How emotional armor protects us, and what it costs
    Jan 21 2026
    Veterinary medicine asks a lot of the people who practice it. To continue showing up for difficult cases, emotional clients, and challenging demands, many veterinarians learn to put on “emotional armor,” like humor and control.
