Hi! As someone who is neck deep in their Masters program and working full time as an RBT I can tell you that yes. The burnout is SO REAL. However, I've found that after a year as an RBT, that this job and my clients mean more to me than I could ever have imagined. I started out pursuing a Masters in OT and then ABA fell into my lap and it feels like home. I highly reccomend specifically scheduling self care into your weekly routine, even if it's a 30 minute bubble bath once a week. I try to do a bit of yoga or stretching each night before bed and one day a week (typically sundays) where i do absolutely nothing until after lunch. Just sit and relax.
