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.

In Episode 81, Ben chats with Cammie Morgan dig deep into these root causes and offer suggestions on where we can go from here.
