Behavior Bitches

On today’s episode, the Bitches sit down with Emily Varon, BCBA. Emily has created a badass workbook called, “Beating BCBA Burnout”, where she gives you simple, yet significant tools to overcome feelings of burnout by working smarter, establishing work hours, and getting more (much more) sleep. The book comes with reusable worksheets and is a step-by-step guide to overcoming burnout and rediscovering your passion for the field of behavior analysis and the families we serve. We talk about how even the simplest thing such as knowing how to manage your Google calendar can make a huge difference in your productivity. Tune in if you are part of the 72% of ABA practitioners experiencing burnout or if you are in any helping profession and feel burnt out!

On today’s episode, the Bitches sit down with Ali Arena, a BCBA and Speech Language Pathologist #superpower. Ali has dedicated her education and career to finding the best communication patterns and behavior changes required to navigate the ever-changing social world. Her clients often call her a “social detective” -- more than likely that comes from her unique training as a Speech Therapist and Behavioral Analyst. She is constantly figuring out the best way to use every client’s strengths to maximize their learning and social potential. We talk all about using the “Improv Method” during sessions to help build confidence, increase social skills, and create a safe environment for everyone!

If you are a busy professional, parent, spouse, or just a human you know how hard it is to manage your to-do lists, work full time, handle all the grocery shopping, take the dog out to sh*t, maybe sneak in a workout, and then be in charge of feeding other humans.

On today's episode, the Bitches bring on one of the greatest in the field of behavior analysis, specifically when it comes to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Dr. Thomas Szabo has spent the past 10 years focusing his practice on teaching people ways to ignite behavioral flexibility in their personal lives and with others in clinical practice, schools, board rooms, shop floors, and community centers. He breaks down ACT and Relational Frame theory so that anyone listening can understand and even talks about some ways to practice psychological flexibility in your own lives. If you know Casey, you know this is her dream guest and if you know Liat you know she keeps it real AF that she knows nothing about AC, but by the end of the episode even she had lightbulb moments. This episode is one you do not want to miss whether you are studying for your board exam, currently practicing in the field, or just interested in this badass therapy. Tune in or miss the F out!
