Elevate Your ABA Supervision Helping the field of ABA grow deeper as it continues to grow wider
Providing dedicated BCBA supervision with passion Hi y'all!

I'm Christi and I'm the founder and owner of Passion for Behavior, LLC. I've been in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) since 2006 and have worked in a variety of setting with a variety of client ages and profiles. Being that I have been a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) since 2013, I consider myself a dinosaur in the field. It's become my identified passion to help the field continue to grow deeper as it continues to grow wider. The rates of BCBA certificates that are being given each year is at exponential increases. I love the science of ABA and sharing it with others; whatever capacity I'm able to do that!

Today’s gratitude isn’t loud. It’s not a party. It’s a quiet breath and a long exhale.

I’m grateful for:
✔️ A warm cup of tea
✔️ A slow morning
✔️ One task completed with presence

This week was full. Beautiful. Heavy. Today, let it be soft.

You know what I’m thankful for? All the mistakes I made when I first started supervising.

✔️ The awkward feedback I gave
✔️ The things I wish I said differently
✔️ The systems I built that totally flopped

Because those cringey moments? They taught me what does work.

If you’re in the middle of messy growth right now: It counts. It’s good. And you’re not alone.

I used to feel exhausted by the revolving door of staff turnover. Then I stopped trying to fix people and started building community.

The truth? Most people don’t leave because they don’t care. They leave because they don’t feel seen.

That’s why 𝘙𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘙𝘦𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 isn’t just a course. It’s a gratitude-driven leadership shift.

Because when people feel appreciated, they stay.

This work is hard. But today I’m pausing to be thankful for:
✔️ RBTs® who show up even when they’re overwhelmed
✔️ Supervisors who keep growing and adjusting
✔️ Clients who teach us more than we teach them

And YOU — for being here, learning alongside me, and trying to do supervision better.

Whether you’re working or resting today: I’m grateful for you.

One of the fastest ways to shift a hard supervision week? Say thank you.

Not for perfection. Not for performance. But for effort. For energy. For showing up.

This week, I told a supervisee: "Thank you for caring so much. It shows."

And her whole face changed.

Gratitude builds safety. And safety builds trust. And trust builds skills.

Who can you thank this week? Tag them if you’re feeling bold 😉

You are the glue. The steady hand in crisis. The emotional buffer. The one who shows up, even when you're not okay.

That’s why I made you this:

✨ The Supervisor Reset ✨ 10 reflection prompts to help you slow down, get honest, and reconnect to yourself.

No forms. No fuss. Just open the email and grab it.

I also recorded a short video for you. No filters. Just a BCBA. Some chaos. And a reminder that you matter too.

Before you disappear into stuffing, spreadsheets, and scheduling chaos...

Let’s pause.

Tomorrow I’m sending something to your inbox that’s not a checklist, not a course, not even a tip. Just a real, quiet reflection.

✨ 10 prompts to help you reset. Reconnect. Recalibrate. ✨ A short video from me, recorded in real-life chaos

It’s not training. It’s truth. And maybe that’s what we all need this week.

PSA: You don’t have to finish the to-do list to deserve a nap.
You don’t have to respond to one more email.
You don’t have to earn rest by suffering first.

✔️ Rest is productive.
✔️ Silence is powerful.
✔️ Doing nothing is a valid plan.

Today, you are allowed to just… stop.
Not forever. Just for now.

This is something that I really struggle with. It's a mentality shift that takes work and takes time.

I used to walk into supervision with an agenda:
✔️ Review targets
✔️ Check task list
✔️ Give feedback
✔️ Done.

Efficient? Maybe.
Transformational? Not so much.

Then one day, I started asking this simple question:
“What’s one thing you want help with today?”

It changed everything.

Because instead of just delivering, I was collaborating.
And that’s where the real growth started.

💬 What’s one question that’s shifted your supervision style?

You try a new system with your supervisees.
It kind of works.
Then it falls apart.
So you try again.

That’s not failure — that’s iteration.

We talk about “data-based decision making,”
but sometimes the hardest data to face is:
“This didn’t go how I hoped.”

✔️ You’re not flaky.
✔️ You’re not behind.
✔️ You’re evolving.

Give yourself the same grace you give your RBTs®.

What’s something you’ve had to revise lately?

For a long time, I thought being a “good BCBA®” meant sounding like the confident ones I saw in trainings.

So I borrowed their scripts.
Tried their systems.
Used their exact words.

It didn’t feel bad — it just didn’t feel like me.

Over time (and a few cringey moments), I realized:
✔️ I’m a better supervisor when I’m myself.
✔️ I connect better when I don’t perform.
✔️ I don’t need to do it their way — because my way works, too.

Now I tell my supervisees the same thing:
You don’t need to copy me.
Let’s find your way of leading.

Let me tell you about the time I thought a supervisee “wasn’t listening”…
when really?
She was drowning.

I was giving her so many tools, resources, acronyms —
trying to help —
but it was too much, too fast, too often.

She didn’t need more.
She needed less.
Less pressure.
Less talking.
More space to breathe and integrate.

👍 Sometimes support means pausing.

Ever had a moment like that? Let’s normalize learning out loud.
