The helpers ~ therapists, coaches, teachers, advocates ~ are burning out at alarming rates. We talk endlessly about self-care, caseload management, and having better boundaries but almost nobody is addressing the root cause.

This is a special episode that I recorded for all the professionals who listen. All the helpers who show up day after day because they love to help the parents of kids with big, baffling behaviors. All the helpers who are tired and wondering how much longer they can keep doing this.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why working with clients in chronic protection mode pulls helpers into protection mode too - and how that's the real starting point of burnout
Applying the "all behavior makes sense" framework to your own nervous system responses changes everything about how you work
The skill that actually prevents burnout - and why bubble baths and calendar blocking aren't it

And if you want to learn more, you can join 4000+ other professionals and me in Making Sense of Baffling Behaviors- a 4-part free audio training for professionals!
