Reignite Your Passion for ABA: How to Love Your Work Again
Break Free from Burnout & Reconnect with the Work You Love
Are You Feeling Burnt Out as a BCBA®?
You’re staring at your computer screen, the cursor blinking on an unfinished session note. But your mind is elsewhere—back to the moment you first felt the spark. The first time a child signed “more” instead of melting down. The first time a child spoke “Mama” and their mother fell to her knees in tears. That was the moment you knew this is why I do this work.
But now, the weight of back-to-back sessions, endless paperwork, and difficult conversations has buried that spark under exhaustion. You’re working late again, your inbox overflowing, and the thought creeps in: Can I keep doing this?
If you’ve ever felt this way, you’re not alone. A 2021 study found that nearly three-quarters of BCBAs® left a previous job due to workload and lack of support.
The good news? You don’t have to choose between meaningful work and your well-being. You can love your career again without burning out.

Why This is Critical for BCBAs®
Burnout in the field of ABA isn’t just a personal struggle—it’s a crisis that affects client outcomes, professional longevity, and the future of our field. Studies show that two out of three BCBAs experience moderate to high levels of burnout, often leading to job dissatisfaction, ethical dilemmas, and even career changes.
When burnout goes unaddressed, the consequences are far-reaching:
✔ Client Progress is Impacted – A burned-out BCBA® struggles to bring their best energy to sessions, affecting the quality of intervention and progress of clients.
✔ High Turnover Weakens the Field – The constant cycle of BCBAs® leaving jobs creates instability for organizations, families, and clients who rely on consistent, quality care.
✔ Ethical Decision-Making Becomes Compromised – Burnout increases stress, which can lead to rushed decisions and ethical gray areas that harm client outcomes.
✔ Passion and Motivation Fade – Many enter the field with excitement, but without proper burnout prevention strategies, that initial passion can disappear, leading to resentment and disengagement.
The good news? Burnout isn’t inevitable. With intentional strategies, boundaries, and support systems, you can continue making a meaningful impact while also protecting your well-being. This course provides the research-backed tools and action steps you need to create a sustainable and fulfilling career in ABA.
