How to Persevere and Create Life-Long Healthy Habits Using ABA
Today on the show, the Bitches sit down with Dr. John Borgen. He is a clinical psychologist and doctoral-level board certified behavior analyst. He has synthesized his education, experience, and expertise into a scientific framework that allows you to succeed when you haven’t before. ABA is an amazing science but let’s be honest we all suck at applying the principles to our own life and habits.
Dr. Borgen wrote a book called “Persevere: The Science-based Guide to Starting lifelong habits.” “You know what you want to change, but all you’ve ever had for help is some advice and people telling you change is important. You’ve tried to sustain an exercise habit or eat healthier and experienced repeated setbacks. Self-criticism and frustration set in making future attempts even more difficult. You see social media filled with success stories and advice that only seems more unattainable in time.”-Dr. Borgen. Tune in for all the behavior principles! Love you. Mean it!

These include individuals with severe emotional-behavioral disturbances, autism and related disorders, intellectual disabilities, various mental illnesses, and a host of other issues requiring treatment.

Customer Reviews
Just what I needed!
I discovered this podcast a week ago & since then, I have been listening to different episodes any chance I get. I absolutely love it !! I already bought the coloring book and pen bundle (such a good deal) and I haven’t even started my master’s program yet! I just graduated undergrad in Detroit, MI. I’ve been an RBT for almost 3 years and listening to this podcast has essentially solidified WHY I’m in this field & the importance of it as well. I love love learning as much as I can in order to help to my full potential & Liat and Casey are the perfect pair to achieve this! <3
Brought back the love
This podcast brought back my love for ABA. After I finished school I lost my love for ABA, I was tired and burnt out. I listed to Liot and Casey and they helped me realize how much fun aba is in our everyday lives, not just at work. They made studying fun and easy to understand. I wouldn’t love ABA as much as I do now without them. Thank you ladies.
Real, Raw, and Relatable
Casey,
Thank you for talking through everything so publicly. Most people aren’t brave enough to expose their pain to the people closest to them, let alone all of their followers. It normalizes a journey that all of us have been on. It makes us understand that we aren’t alone in this experience. I think the shame of pain isolates us, which is ridiculous because it is part of the human existence. By going through this publicly, you are setting a precedent. You can be a strong, smart, hard-working business woman and go through the ringer. That’s what makes you stronger and helps you grow as a person.
Liat,
Casey is so lucky to have a friend that can support her the way that you do. Most people don’t have someone that can pour on the love, be non-judgmental, and speak the truth even if it’s unwelcomed.
Thank you both for continuing to teach us, leading by example, and being ‘real, raw, and relatable.’
Sincerely,
Kate D.
