Congratulations on getting your BCBA certification

Thank you!!

[@ramsullivan7883]

congratulations!! I am pursuing my master's degree in Applied behavior analysis. I am about to start accruing my hours. I came across ABA after graduating with my B.A in psychology looking to supplement my income. I worked as a behavioral therapist about 2 years before I became a RBT.

Congrats Ricky on all of your success! I just became a BCBA a couple of weeks ago and I kinda feel lost lol. Have you ever went through imposter syndrome? If so, how did you cope? What was that transition process like from RBT to BCBA?

[@rickytherbt3794]

Hi Ashli! Thanks for watching! I do experience imposter syndrome and it’s not fun but how I cope with imposter syndrome is when I feel inadequate I reach out to someone I trust in the field and I confide in them. I seek out support from them and they’ll either tell me I’m on the right track or give me some ways to improve. The reason I do this is so I at least have an outlet in someone I trust and they can give me valuable feedback. I hope that helps and congratulations on passing your exam!

Hi! I’m currently working in the field of ABA, but I’ve lately been struggling with dealing with a lot of guilt after learning about the controversy surrounding ABA. I was wondering what are your thoughts and opinions about the controversy that can surround ABA?

[@rickytherbt3794]

My apologies for the delayed response! To answer your question, I pride myself on delivering services that are aligned with the boards ethical code. Also, I take the time to listen to the negative experiences, understand them and ensure that I do not repeat those experiences with my clients.
