Summary

As voted on by our Patrons, we’re talking about ways to prevent that pernicious problem for professionals: Burnout. Hopefully that’s not just because a high percentage of BCBAs are feeling unappreciated, constantly in unresolved conflict with clients and co-workers, and highly dissatisfied with their current lot in life. Even if you are, this episode will cover some ways that you can reflect on the burnout process to avoid falling fully into its clutches (and, if you’re a boss, some steps that you might want to ensure you’re taking!).
