Honestly Unorthodox. with Kayla PerryA Resignation Letter to Myself: Goodbye, AngryWe are all entitled to evolve. To grow, to infuse new ideas into our character, to better understand the person we have become. In taking the feedback I've received quite seriously, I've been engaging in quite a bit of introspection. Introspection that has led me to this: resigning from my "Angry" persona, and continuing my pursuit of myself as the empathetic contrarian that some have grown to trust, while others have grown to despise.

2023-01-2654 minHonestly Unorthodox. with Kayla PerryA Former Social Justice Warrior Is No Longer Wide AwokeWhen this wonderful social-worker-turned-social-justice-warrior-turned-sane-person reached out to me, I immediately bit the bait. Sara shared stories of being groomed into ideological thinking in her social work degree, finding solace in the "repost" button on Facebook, and training her algorithm to show only the juiciest of political clickbait. As she now navigates life as someone who can reflect upon her own behavior and thinking, Sara gives us valuable insight into just how powerful social media can be.Subscribe to Angry's Substack at: https://theangrybehavioranalyst.substack.comFollow Angry on Instagram @theangrybxanalystCheck out Angry's...

2023-01-1759 minHonestly Unorthodox. with Kayla PerryCan We Take A Joke?Comedy used to bring us together in uproarious laughter, collective entertainment, and traditional bonding. With the world growing so hyper-focused on perceived offenses and moral injustices, nearly every comedian that used to be a relief valve has given up entirely on what they love to do most. Today's episode reviews the psychology of offense, if comedy is truly dead, and Stanford's List of Harmful Language--- and how we can get back to a place of common sense and spine.Follow Angry on Instagram @theangrybxanalystCheck out Angry's services at theangrybehavioranalyst.com
2023-01-1058 minHonestly Unorthodox. with Kayla PerryThis Guy Left Me A Very Honest Review, So I Invited Him on the PodcastIf I appreciate anything, it's the courage to stand by your beliefs and question everything and anything that we're presented with. I especially appreciate this theory when it's applied to myself, and my guest today is no stranger to putting the shoe on the other foot. One of my listeners, Brad Young, left me a bit of a feisty review, disagreeing pretty strongly with most of my standpoints in a straightforward, honest manner. Instead of trying to parse out the issues on social media, I invited him on the podcast, and I was thrilled that he said yes. Now...

While her fame is certainly an aspect of her life that she has grown accustomed to, she has unique perspectives on the delivery of therapy for populations diagnosed with autism, including her views on the Neurodiversity Movement, if autism truly is a 'gift', and if SBT/My Way is the end-all, be-all of treatment.Follow Angry on Instagram @theangrybxanalystCheck out Angry's services...
2022-12-2747 minHonestly Unorthodox. with Kayla PerryAutism Supremacy, Neurodiversity, and 'Real Talk' with A ListenerIt's pretty often I receive emails from professionals and clients within therapeutic fields, but the email I received from today's guest sat with me a bit differently. Matthew Crome, an adult with autism, reached out to me a couple of weeks ago to discuss his thoughts on the Neurodiversity Movement, some criticisms of how certain groups perceive autism, and challenges he faces as a Registered Behavior Technician diagnosed later in life with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Without giving it away entirely, here's what we will say: Autism is definitely not something many adults diagnosed with it consider to be "superior".

In an effort to maximize inclusion and strive for a more equal playing field for all, we have effectively destroyed civilization and led to people who can't seem to find it within them to produce any sort of meaningful work without outlandish requests.

But what if men are struggling with issues very similar to that of women? What if men are challenged in the same ways as women, all while women continue to prove their strength as they dominate traditionally-male labor markets?

An Inside Look at the Safe SpacePositive Parenting and affirming practices are feel-good, flowery phrases we use to refer to treating children as if they're allies rather than human beings who need direction and healthy independence. With the rise of safe spaces and treating every event as if it were traumatic, it's difficult to build resilience and emotional grit in individuals that rely on us to do so.

Behavior BitchesEverybody Lies with Kayla Perry, BCBAOn today’s episode, we dive into the art of persuasion and the nuances behind lying. Whether we’re embellishing the truth, casting doubt on the truth, or avoiding the sting of awkwardness, deceptive behavior can be both harmful and adaptive. Harmful in the sense that calculated, methodical lying with a malicious intent of deceiving, could cost someone precious parts of their identity. Adaptive in the sense that white lies, or surface-level fibs, can spare someone hurt feelings and a lot of relationship repair. Persuading others to act as a reference for a job interview is a version of lyin...
