I definitely become harder on myself when my patients aren't doing as well as I wish, it's difficult to not feel emotions when you're caring for these people daily. I've really tried to find a better work life balance and making sure that I have time to decompress after work so that I'm not constantly thinking about that stuff.
Yes I know exactly how you feel, that's why its so important to take care of yourself mentally. We all need a day sometimes, the job has its good days and bad days. Let's take care of ourselves and each other.

What setting are you working in? Do you have support and leadership to facilitate continued learning and professional growth?
a BCBA here - definitely in that position at times
Sorry for your situation. What helps you get up and believe in yourself every morning?
Yeah, I just started working a few months back and this is something that I've definitely felt a lot. I've already lost a few people and it hits me so hard every time, a sense of guilt like there was more I could do for them. They tell me it gets better with time, but it's rough at the moment.
I'm sorry to hear that. Guess it feels good to know we're not alone in this. We'll be fine. Let's just focus on making sure we're upskilling and being more and more present with our patients.
