About Out of Practice

Out of Practice is a podcast about the human side of veterinary medicine from inside and outside the clinic.Hosted by Dr. Addie Reinhard and Dr. Ginger Templeton, two veterinarians who’ve stepped out of full-time clinical practice but remain deeply rooted in the profession, the show explores what it means to build a sustainable, meaningful, and well-lived life in veterinary medicine today.Through candid conversations about work, identity, wellbeing, boundaries, leadership, relationships, parenthood, creativity, and everything in between, Addie and Ginger bring honesty, nuance, and a refreshing sense of curiosity to the experiences veterinarians rarely talk about out loud.

E11 | Stress, Trauma, and Therapy: A Conversation with Lori D'Alessandro, LCSW, CCTP (Part 2)

In Part 2 of our series, we demystify the actual process of seeking therapy for ongoing workplace stress and trauma. Recognizing the need for help is a crucial first step—but knowing what to expect can make taking action much easier. We pull back the curtain on the therapeutic process, breaking down common modalities and providing a practical roadmap to help you find the right provider without the overwhelm. We discuss: What frameworks like CBT (for thought patterns) and EMDR (for processing trauma) actually look like in practice. Step-by-step guidance on how to look for a therapist.

E10 | Stress, Trauma, and Therapy: A Conversation with Lori D'Alessandro, LCSW, CCTP (Part 1)

In this episode of Out of Practice, we observe Mental Health Awareness Month by diving into the essential, yet often daunting, process of seeking professional support. While the veterinary profession is increasingly open about mental health challenges, the practical steps of finding help can feel overwhelming when you’re already operating at capacity. We move beyond the "why" and focus on the "how"—navigating the search for a therapist who truly understands the unique pressures of the clinic. We discuss: Practical techniques for vetting providers and finding a therapist. How chronic stress and acute trauma physically manifest in the veterinary workplace. Understanding how personal history and professional stressors intertwine. The importance of reaching out for support and the role of clinical debriefing after difficult cases. This episode continues our commitment to professional well-being, moving from the concept of self-care into the tangible action of clinical support. Whether you’re looking for a therapist for the first time or seeking better ways to support your team, this conversation offers a roadmap for the journey.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
