#290: Clinician Wellness and Red Flags for Burnout with Tiffany N. Arango

If you've ever wondered whether constant stress is simply part of being a helping professional, this conversation is for you. Burnout isn't a badge of honor, and crying in your car or pushing through physical symptoms shouldn't be considered normal.I’m joined by Tiffany N. Arango to explore what clinician wellness really looks like and why so many dedicated professionals end up running on empty. Tiffany shares her own experience of reaching severe burnout while working in what she believed was her dream job, and how that experience changed the direction of her career. We talk about the workplace red flags that are easy to overlook, why so many of us normalize unhealthy environments, and how psychological flexibility can help us respond with intention instead of simply surviving each day.We also explore the role leaders play in creating healthy workplace cultures and why genuine care for employees should never be viewed as a weakness. Whether you're a speech therapist, BCBA, RBT, or another helping professional, I hope this conversation reminds you that your well-being matters just as much as the people you serve. If you're feeling overwhelmed, please know you don't have to navigate it alone. Reach out, find your community, and seek support.#autism #speechtherapyWhat’s Inside:Red flags that can signal workplace burnoutHow psychological flexibility supports clinician well-beingPractical ways leaders can create healthier workplace culturesWhy caring for yourself is essential to caring for othersMentioned In This Episode:Grab Say it With MeThe Behavior StationEarn CEUs with a community of peers.
