Description

Dylan and I discuss the Industrial Revolution and how it has made us all similar to the "fitless humans" in the movie Wall-E. Between the habit of poor positioning when we scroll on our phones on the couch, to education systems keeping children sedentary, our society as Americans is quickly headed towards poor health and, possibly, a lifetime of pain. This is especially pronounced for those with disabilities, who may lack the language and cognitive capacity to fully understand how to address and communicate pain, manage pain, and strengthen themselves with the human body armor that is muscle. Can people with disabilities still benefit from good nutrition, lifting heavy things, and a life similar to that of the Hadzabe tribe? Hell yeah, they can! We just have to be willing to do it ourselves. Challenges of the Week: 1. Continue to walk for 30 minutes, 3 times per week. 2. Choose a habit you'd like to change, and simply carry around a notecard or notepad to which you'll tally off whenever you engage in the habit. 3. If you are religious about your Apple Watch, try taking it off for an entire day and make note of what you feel. 4. Sit on the floor, with your back unsupported, for 10 minutes while you're watching a TV show or answering emails. 5. Please leave us a review! Our egos have not recovered from the reviews we are left with. ;-)Please email me with any questions, comments, or concerns! theangrybehavioranalyst@gmail.com (I need a new email address, don't I... :-) )

The show will discuss the age of self-censorship and how it affects our careers as clinicians, specifically clinicians that work with vulnerable populations. It will tie in free speech, current controversies and ‘touchy subjects’ within the practice of Applied Behavior Analysis, and the pursuit of truth as an outspoken practitioner.
