An ABA Breakdown of Netflix's Love Is Blind Season 9
This week, Paola, Leslie, and Brittanny take a behavioral dive into Netflix Love Is Blind season 9 episode 10 and 11, exploring what Applied Behavior Analysis reveals about the way people love, fight, and stay in unhealthy relationships. Using the couples they break down how reinforcement, punishment, and learning history shape emotional patterns and attraction. Paola opens the episode by sharing her experience advocating for herself in her second hospital stay, connecting it to the importance of empathy and communication in both healthcare and behavior analysis.
Throughout the discussion, the hosts connect these relationship patterns to behavioral principles like functional analysis, reinforcement history, private events, and environmental contingencies. They emphasize that these same dynamics appear in therapy rooms, workplaces, and families, not just reality TV. This episode helps listeners understand how reinforcement drives connection and conflict, why empathy and bedside manner matter in every field, and how “trusting your gut” can function as a cue for self-advocacy and boundary setting.
