Experiences of burnout in the field of behaviour analysis are being reported more and more and with that many resources on how to alleviate these symptoms in terms of self-care, work/life balance, and avoiding toxic work environments. These tools and strategies are essential and needed but do not do much to address the root causes of burnout. In Episode 81, Ben chats with Cammie Morgan dig deep into these root causes and offer suggestions on where we can go from here.

We dig into popular early intervention skills assessments like the ABLLS and the AFLS in terms of how we can adapt these tools to meet the individual needs of families. Nissa offers a great selection of literature to support cultural diversity in behavior analysis and incorporate it into the assessment process.

In Episode 67, Ben chats with Drs. Nasiah Cirincione-Ulezi and Jonathan Tarbox. This conversation digs deep into humility, compassion, and reflection. They apply these concepts to imposter syndrome, empathy, kindness, service, and more.  
Host Note: This was by far one of the most personally impactful interviews I've done.  I have so much gratitude for Dr. Cirincione-Ulezi's mentorship. She has taught me so much about recognizing and acknowledging my own biases (and do I ever have A LOT of biases) and most of all she taught me the true value of sitting with my discomfort. Similarly, Dr. Tarbox has been such a model for me. He has shown me over and over again how someone with so much power and privilege in our field can use that power to be of service to others and uplift voices. SO MUCH GRATITUDE!

In Episode 64, Ben chats with Naomi Tachera, an Indigenous Hawaiian behaviour analyst and mother to a wonderful Autistic son.  This conversation is a fascinating crash course in the history of Hawaiian education,  the ongoing US occupation of Hawaii, and the oppression of Indigenous Hawaiians.  If you're looking to build your cultural competence and develop culturally-responsive interventions for Polynesian clients then this will be a great place to start!
