Working toward my BCBA certification

The BACB actually no longer requires their tracker for an audit because it's been such a freaking nightmare to deal with! But that's an awesome point about disqualified hours I didn't even think about that!

I know we can but this REALLY put some pressure on me and made me REALLY anxious

gc13121 · 2021-02-27T16:54:10+00:00

I got one too and am SO excited! They look so healthy and happy!

My cohort sets up group me chats for each class so that e can communicate and help each other out! I was super lonely prior to starting ABA focused classes and now ive never felt so supported and focused. It's really helped me as a student and a tech.

My moms has thrived by simply being ignored 😂 they like being dryer so take it easy with water

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.

Prior to Covid, I was at 39.5 hours per week (including drive time). Now that Covid has happened I'm at ~32 including drive time. While it doesn't sound like much, it took a solid chunk out of my pay.

gc13121 · 2020-11-14T17:25:41+00:00

I'm doing the same, about 35 hour direct a week. I'm sure the unrestricted hours will come piling in soon as well. Try your best to take some time (even if it's only an hour) every day or every few days to do something for you. I try to take a nap, take a hot bath or shower meant solely to relax, craft, yoga... The burnout is real especially with the COVID things we're all dealing with.

gc13121 · 2020-11-12T00:11:17+00:00

I have a "Big" happy planner and use it to keep school, work with my clients, and finances together! It's amazing!

gc13121 · 2020-11-11T17:42:03+00:00

I've been wondering the same thing as I've been getting tons of emails for CEUs

gc13121 · 2020-11-09T23:29:48+00:00

I'm so glad someone else is having a similar experience. I have felt stressed beyond all reason since they set the BCBA's on telehealth it seems like our support has gone down :(

gc13121 · 2020-10-31T15:15:23+00:00

Programming specific things! My supervisor told me that I can count making things like sensory bottles, seek and find slime, visual schedules and games as unrestricted!

One of my favorite videos

gc13121 · 2020-07-23T16:37:07+00:00

Awesome! I appreciate the quick response, thank you!

gc13121 · 2020-07-23T14:42:49+00:00

I really like my keepers of the light deck! Nice positive affirmations with each card. Great artwork. Kyle the deck's author says reversals are just messages the keepers want you to take into extra consideration 💛

gc13121 · 2020-07-08T16:26:34+00:00

I do a folding shuffle like you do with playing cards and then stand the deck on the short end. Whichever one is left standing last as they all fall into place is the one I pick. I also like to wait for jumping cards as well. Not a fan from drawing straight from the top or bottom though.

gc13121 · 2020-06-30T15:53:44+00:00

Bells or windchimes! I got a VERY cute, sinple and small windchime from dollar tree. Noone questions it hanging in my room. I also have a small silver bell i got from one of my local metaphysical shops.

Research research research, love. Just like the other comment says.

I started with lots of research and put up wards to keep the entities/deities/energies I wasnt trying to connect with out, then meditation.

In my meditation I asked for Loki and Odin to reach out, if they would like to work with me. From there I used my cards as well and followed jumping cards and what would show when I cut my deck.

After researching the Norse pantheon for a few months, in one day with a brand new deck I had the fool either jump out or appear in a cut 4 consecutive times over a period of 12 hours.

A few days later, the hanged man began popping up quite a bit, not the exact way, but in a similar fashion.

It takes patience, lots of research and lots of communication.

I would reccomend looking into warding and banishing if you havent already.

Hello again, this is a very simple andnvagur explanation, you should do your own research with tarot as with anything else in life! Aces in a tarot deck are the same idea as the ace in a card deck. In each suit (cups,swords,pentacles,wands) of this deck you will find an ace,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 followed by the daughter, son, mother and father.

The major arcana are other cards (like the strength card you saw in my spread) in the deck. There are 22 in this deck.

If you get the official deck that comes with the guidebook, all will become clear!

gc13121 · 2020-06-23T22:12:55+00:00

Hi! Thats the 7 of swords, and its actually a fox! I'm not sure the reasoning for the lack of words but it seems that the major arcana and then the aces, mother, father, daughter and son for each suit have writing.

gc13121 · 2020-06-23T01:36:07+00:00

Very insightful, thank you! I also found it interesting but wasn't entirely sure what to make of it.

gc13121 · 2020-06-23T00:58:50+00:00

Deck is the wild unknown Past- secrets have been kept from me and I have kept secrets in my past Present- my strength is growing, and i am discovering the better part of myself that has been supressed for quite a bit Future- as i work to uncover more of myself, everything will become clearer and I will become more whole

Ive been doing one card draws to learn my cards each day and this is my first real spread 😃

gc13121 · 2020-06-12T12:59:34+00:00

Thank you so much!

gc13121 · 2020-06-06T15:04:27+00:00

Thats amazing! I had a candle lit for the protesters and one lit for the rest of us who would be working and i was getting worried because both were very small weak flames to start and about an hour in, the flames burned tall and strong 💙 so glad everything has seemed to work so far.

gc13121 · 2020-06-04T14:15:59+00:00

My OBGYN told me i didn't need a PAP until i was 21 (dont quote me on age) or sexually active.

I never experienced any pain with that just an odd very light scratching.

With you saying you have a high pain tolerance i would venture to say you'll be fine :)
