About this listen

In this episode, Julian and Mike introduce Allison Johansson, an expert on managing stress and trauma. The discussion revolves around techniques for dealing with acute and chronic stress, using unconventional but effective methods such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and polyvagal theory.


Allison explains how to identify and address stress responses, comparing them to a small child seeking attention. She elaborates on the physiological and psychological aspects of stress and trauma, offers quick tips for managing day-to-day stress, and highlights the importance of feeling safe.


The dialogue also touches on specific stress triggers for veterinarians and strategies to cope with burnout. Allison concludes with a 60-second CPD segment on finding safety in stress and announces her upcoming book on well-being in veterinary medicine.
