hi my pretty babies. i hope your week was phenomenal on all levels. creatively, romantically, digestively, even! i have wonderful news for you: i’ve made you a new episode!
the *star* of this week’s show is Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapist Drew Belsinger, and i think you’ll just love him. honestly, i *know* you will. i had the good fortune of meeting Drew completely by chance at a grocery store while visiting my hometown over the summer, and within minutes i knew he was part of the fam. his honesty, personal integrity, and humility are striking, as is the fact that he remains so supremely chill about his insanely stressful job helping children in schools overcome behavioral challenges.
In this episode we discuss:
tuning in to many people's needs at once
how to set boundaries (he's really good at this)
knowing the limits of your job
the double-edged sword of working on an interdisciplinary care team
building trust with your coworkers
the importance of data and framework
knowing thyself, taking naps, and crying at work sometimes
la résistance, darling
recognizing when we don't "need" to change someone
the MAGICAL phrase he uses in testy work encountersthanks so much for coming to the show. enjoy *every* minute!
