Good pod

Are really Knowledgeable and I like what they have to offer. Even though they just started they are doing an amazing job explaining. Talking skills for a podcast takes time and is a lot different then normal conversations. They are good and can’t wait for the future of this podcast. Keep grinding :)

Heart breaking

Why would someone do something with no purpose? So….Why isn’t this the center of everything you do? And— even before that— you should be trying to understand (not assume— or observe) why your client is doing a behavior that annoys you. Your coffee example is a perfect illustration of why aba at its core is abusive — it places no value in the actual inner life of the target— though there are many compassionate caring people who are invested in practicing it as a livelihood. Please look into Ross Greene and Collaborative and Proactive Solutions for another method— backed by science— for working with challenging behavior that values the humanity of all parties. They have lots of online information!

Behavior b*tches Ripoff

From the image to the verbiage these girls are just wanting quick fame and copping the behavior B’s gimmick. They had “Dr” Katie Saint on for an episode and now she thinks she’s a star. These two aren’t as knowledgeable as they present themselves to be and really just want some fame. Made it 5 minutes in and I couldn’t stand the “um”s every 5 seconds and the condescending tone of Saint. The only benefit of this podcast is that you can’t see them. Don’t waste your time and if you’re looking for educational information look elsewhere.
