Description
Burnout is not only exhaustion. It is that sinking feeling of being out of alignment with what matters most. In this episode, we open up about the real challenges BCBAs and therapists face: overwhelming caseloads, lack of follow-through, and situations we cannot control. Instead of pushing through the pressure, we explore how ACT helps us acknowledge our feelings, name what is really happening, and reconnect with our values.We talk about psychological flexibility, common thought traps, and why fixing burnout is not the goal. The goal is learning to tolerate discomfort while taking committed, values-driven action. You will hear how we use the ACT Values Matrix to shift from frustration to clarity and how compassion for ourselves and others can change the way we show up at work.What’s Inside:What burnout really looks like for BCBAs and therapistsHow ACT helps us accept what we cannot controlUsing values-based action to reduce overwhelmPractical strategies for building psychological flexibilityMentioned in This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram
