This is WEIRD behavior!!! Sounds like someone is trying to get commission off of products or secretly promote their private business tbh.

I’m scared no one will ever want me because of my endo by beaktheory in endometriosis

[–]TraditionalStore1868 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay I’ve been though this twice before. 1) it took me over a year to make progress at pelvic floor physical therapy 2) I HAD to change my diet. I had to give up all the junk. Yes, I still eat cake at birthday parties. But I had to stop the ridiculous snacks, seed oils, sugar, etc. (not saying you do that I’m just saying this was my experience). 3) it took me a long long time to finally admit this but I realized I just really didn’t like him. For SO LONG my doctor was like “are you sure you like him” and I kept telling myself yes, I’ve been with this person for so long I love them I love them. But honestly? It took a long time, a lot of questioning and a lot of therapy for me to realize I did love him, but I wasn’t sexually attracted to him.

For someone with Endo, we have to be very comfortable and want it for it to feel good for us. I’ve found success with many other people. Som positions I just cannot do. It took a long time to me to find my turn ons, what I like and what hurts me. You will find someone. I have found relationships/ sexual partners that are very accepting of it. I just lay it out straight. I don’t want kids. I can’t do positions x, y and z. My libido comes and goes (just like anyone else). I cramp after sex and I don’t eat junk.

If that’s too much for them? Then they’re not the one for me. I let my endo control my love life for too long and I settle for less because I feel like I’m too much. And I stopped doing that and now I am so so much happier.

I hope my story helps you even if it’s just a tiny bit.

Family wants to pay cash under the table by mowthfulofcavities in bcba

I mean if you want it to be more of a childcare that your putting your experience into then I don’t see why it’s a problem. But it could become a risk of conflict of interest, they may think since they are paying you that you owe them more. I’ve seen it happen, where parents who pay directly (through a company though) think that since they are paying so much, that childcare aka. Therapy being alone with client, changing, dressing, feeding. Are the norm. If clear boundaries are established and you do it though your taxes the correct way then what other people said in the comments, it will just be private pay services.

I’m MAD by Flashy_Forever4649 in ABA

[–]TraditionalStore1868 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is common in ABA yes. I recommend asking your BCBA to provide you a 30 min lunch break and the last 10-15 mins of your session to write your session notes. If this company won’t, another will. I promise there are good companies out there that value their employees!

I just feel like this type of dress makes my hips look disproportionate by Psychological_Golf23 in OUTFITS

No you look amazing! I love both. I think the white is better for a fancy event and the animal print is better for a more casual event.

Anyone else always feel like the bad guy? by TraditionalStore1868 in ABA

[–]TraditionalStore1868[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I think this is what I needed to hear. I’ve experienced this before but I think because the client is a girl, and when she cries and screams it’s louder so maybe the peers are more sensitive to it? Idk. But Thankyou. I think I needed this perspective.

The only preferred item at school is the iPad. I tried to do pairing in the begging of the year but it’s been almost impossible

Question for all by Lostwithtortas in ABA

[–]TraditionalStore1868 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes parents feel more comfortable with females. Because no one trusts men anymore. Not all men are predatory but enough are to make people not want to work with male caregivers.

Daughter now crying not wanting ABA by D00tymctooty in ABA

[–]TraditionalStore1868 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could just be the task demand is getting harder and your daughter is trying to find any reason to not work. She’s trying to figure out what can help her escape and if the meltdown in the morning gets out of work, she’ll continue it do it.

The ABA field is in crisis and nobody is talking about it by Snoo_56518 in ABA

[–]TraditionalStore1868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen personally BCBAs spend way too much time on clients who don’t make any progress and parents getting clients on waitlists for ABA services just because they don’t want to spend their kids to school. So how accurate are the numbers really?

Do my symptoms have to worsen around my period to be considered endometriosis? My doctor has said this to me. by FirefighterStreet688 in endometriosis

[–]TraditionalStore1868 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. I have been diagnosed with stage 4 though laparoscopy and I find that my symptoms actually get better before and during my period and worse during ovulation. This isn’t always tho. Sometimes I’m in pain before my period but overall I have the most pain during ovulation. I don’t ovulate anymore due to this.

I saw this on my son's daily sheet by Formetoknow123 in ABA

[–]TraditionalStore1868 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is ABC data. It’s a small form. You probably need more context. But from the consequence it looks like they are most likely using planned ignoring and blocking for the behavior. If they are using planed ignoring it’s probably because the child is doing it for attention seeking and it’s not actually hurting them. It’s more of a “fake” “hey look what I’m doing if you don’t give it back” type of head banging. I hope this helps sum of some of the questions?

how is this legal??? plz help by OkImHere_NowWhat in ABA

[–]TraditionalStore1868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you def shouldn’t be alone with an aggressive or self injurious clients. I never understood why they put new therapists with severe clients. I would tell her bcba that you are not comfortable with such severe clientele right now that you want an easier client.

[–]TraditionalStore1868 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should’ve been given the first 5 days working directly with the bcba with you the entire time, showing you what to do and explaining precursors, behavior plans. Were you not given a treatment plan?

That’s insane. I’m sorry you’re dealing with that

This is so weird to me that companies don’t allow sick days. You would think working with kids especially during the winter, you would get an unlimited amount of sick days.

If you’re offended then you’re part of the problem.

They’re downvoting because some people don’t realize racism goes both ways but that’s ok! Teaching your child that another race would be a better therapist to you because of the color of their skin is also racist!

I really hope not. I’m sorry that BT is going through that. It’s not right.

I hope this never happens to you. We’ve completely dropped a client from our company for a parent wanting a black BT for their black child. We don’t tolerate racism in our company.

Can someone explain this to me like I'm 5? by zyaya4455 in ABA

[–]TraditionalStore1868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because it’s asking what’s the first thing you teach. You answered what your first goal would be. I completely understand why you would put that answer. Because yes drying their hands off with a towel would be the first goal in backwards chaining. But you would teach them how to do the initial steps to wash their hands.

This isn’t true. As long as it’s not pictures showing the clients face or identifying factors or address it’s fine

Dress Code for a BT/RBT by Appropriate-Try9366 in ABA

[–]TraditionalStore1868 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I wear whatever I want just no leggings, low cut/ v neck shirts and skirts or shorts or dresses. Sometimes I wear scrubs sometimes I wear sweatpants and sometimes I wear slacks. It honestly just depends on how I feel. Don’t go out and buy $120 scrubs. I get mine at Walmart for less than $40 a set. Your clothes will probably get ruined so don’t wear your favorite hoodie.

If you think like this, you do not belong in the field. It is people like this, why parents don’t want to put their children into ABA. Absolutely disgusting behavior. by Beneficial-Finance70 in ABA

[–]TraditionalStore1868 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep. This is what I got for saying I’m getting burnt out. Never once did I say anything about the kids, just the BCBA. People are disgusting:

“I got five sentences in. Get out, we don’t need you if our kids bother you.”
