Behavior Bitches

On today’s episode we talk all about intuitive eating. WTF is intuitive eating you may ask. Well you’re in luck because we have our girl, professional vegan chef and life coach, Yael Gutin, here to talk all about it. You don't have to think about earning oxygen as a reinforcer so why do we have to do it with food? #UnconditionedReinforcers Tune if you want to jump into this whole intuitive eating thing because we’re #FeelingIt.

On today’s episode we have BCBA, Kathryn Goerges on the show to discuss how she works with extremely challenging behavior and how important it is to look at the true function of the behavior. We talk about about the importance of conducting functional analysis in your practice and not just throwing the kitchen sink at problem behaviors. Casey was still reeling after seeing Dr. Gregory Hanley present his work on the IISCA and Practical Functional Assessment so there are a ton of amazing “AH-HA” moments during this episode. If you are struggling with trying to treat  problem behaviors and need some inspiration, then tune in baby.

On today’s episode we get to talk to a real life mascot and BCBA. Brad Bishop from PsychCore brings some serious laughs and ABA principles to the show. From reinforcement to punishment and verbal behavior, there wasn't a dull moment of the entire show. Brad tells us the behaviors that keep the crowd roaring for more. Episode 26 is all up in the MIX. Show Notes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKFpzEc1o4Lx6AmawVNUaHQ We are not here to provide behavior analytic services. We are just two chicks who like human behavior and how we can use ABA in everyday life. Do not use this podcast as the way you study for the exam or in place of any supervision. We just like chatting and hope you like it too

Today’s episode is #InterestingAF if we say so ourselves. Liat’s new obsession is researching how to successfully negotiate a hostage situation. You know, something very important in case this ever comes up when walking down the street. Okay, kidding...hopefully. Anyways, Liat has pulled Casey in on this #obv and she’s kinda obsessed with the topic too. We are no experts on this but we’re damn good at doing our due diligence and translating what we learn into #BehavioralBreakdowns. Tune in baby!

In today’s episode the Behavior Bitches dive into the first part of the book “ How to Win Friends and Influence People”. They felt it was their duty to break it down behaviorally. They discuss how important it is to reinforce the behavior you want to see and not punish the behavior you don't want to see. Tune in. It’s a good one.

On today’s episode the bitches discuss a topic that lights absolute rage in both Casey and Liat, Bullying. Bullying is a big freaking deal and guess what, punishing the bully’s behavior after the fact is NOT working. Why the F#%$ do people bully? WTF do we do about it? With the invention of social media and the cyber world, bullying has only increased and intensified. The ladies tie in many behavioral principles that maintain bullying behavior, why people bully, and applied behavior analysis therapy interventions that if implemented correctly could one day create a kind and respectful community. Once again, ABA can change the world! Show notes:  Ross, S. W., & Horner, R. H. (2009). Bully prevention in positive behavior support.

OMG! The Bitches are in the same physical location. We just met for the first time and to celebrate this meeting we decided to flip the script and have our listeners call into the show to ask us questions. In part 1 of Dear Behavior Bitches, listeners had the chance to ask us anything. No edits, no filters, just real talk.
