Behavior Bitches
Ever wonder why guys always assume you’re down to get dirty within 3 seconds of meeting them? Why you keep making the same bad decisions and getting back with your crummy ex? Why you can’t stick to a diet? Well, there’s a reason and we’re ready to be direct AF with you by behaviorally breaking down the situation and identifying the function in a way that any average Joe or Jane can understand.
Liat Sacks, a badass Behavior Analyst and your soon to be BFF, makes this “random” world make sense through the lens of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
