Supervision Stories | Applying ABA to Your Own Life with Lindsay Milnes
🎙️ In This Episode of Supervision Stories
In the kickoff episode of our Supervision Stories series, I chat with Lindsay Milnes, a newly certified BCBA who took a creative, values-driven approach to her fieldwork experience. Lindsay shares how she turned challenges—like low client hours and limited access to unrestricted activities—into opportunities to apply ABA to her own life and build confidence along the way.
We talk about how she found the right-fit supervisor, used self-management and ACT strategies during her training, and eventually launched a mentorship group to support other trainees exploring health and wellness within behavior analysis.
If you're a trainee feeling stuck or a supervisor looking to better support your students’ growth, this conversation offers insight, inspiration, and actionable strategies.
🔑 Key Topics:
- Finding a supervisor aligned with your values and interests
- Using self-management skills
- Creative ways to gain unrestricted hours
- Applying ABA to personal goals like water intake and exercise
- Filling supervision gaps with community and collaboration
- Launching a mentorship group for health-focused trainees
đź’ˇ Key Takeaways:
- You don’t have to wait for ideal conditions—create your own opportunities within supervision.
- Self-management isn’t just for clients; using ABA tools on yourself builds both skills and confidence.
- Finding a supervisor you genuinely connect with can change the trajectory of your training experience.
- Embedding your passions into supervision can lead to meaningful, career-shaping work.
