how to accept making mistakes as a VT?

i am 20yrs old and just started my job as a VT at a clinic two weeks ago. i have a couple years experience working as a kennel assistant, but the requirements for that job were very different. my experience included cleaning kennels, restraining animals, and small wellness procedures like nail trims and anal glands.

my current job is very different. i’m doing vaccines, blood draws, filling prescriptions, monitoring anesthesia, meeting with the owners, charting notes, etc.

the vets and other techs at my work have told me i’m doing well and learning quickly, but i still beat myself up every time i do something incorrectly. i get so anxious when i make a mistake and think about it for days after. i know im not expected to be perfect in the beginning, but i hate disappointing people, especially in a profession where we all rely on each other to do well. there’s just so much to learn and i feel very overwhelmed.

does anyone have tips on accepting mistakes and viewing them as a learning opportunity instead of a reason to feel ashamed? i’ve always been a perfectionist and hate doing things wrong, but i don’t want my anxiety to hinder my performance. i love what im doing and the people i work with, and i want to go to vet school one day. i know that getting there will include making mistakes. i just dont know how to not let it bother me so much.
