how do I condition myself to steer bombs into nazi controlled positions?

What are your actual credentials?

I am very avoidant and passive. I don't see this as an issue myself but the people around me do. Comment on this.

Also describe your regular work day. Common problems, coomon treatments. Go in detail, I am interested.

Had a really intense 2 weeks with a girl, she ended up breaking it off. What are the chances she still thinks of me?

Should I kill myself over hair loss? I didn’t get to date a lot in my early twenties due to digging myself out of poverty and now I’m too bald and ugly I think for young women and feel my life is a waste. I’m pretty sure this doesn’t apply to your field tho.

How would you treat a schizoid patient?

You probably want to get a feel for "steering bombs" first. Start by using what you have, even water balloons into the neighbors will do.
Then you move closer to the real thing, one step at a time.

Bachelors in Psychology (there's no Behavior Analysis course in my country), ongoing Masters degree

Your avoidance keeps you from coming into contact with something that you dislike, we can start from there.

I meet about twenty people per week on one hour sessions from monday to thursday. They usually range from 1 to 2 hours, and online.
I get people of all ages, but mostly middle aged men. The most common complaint is not being able to deal with the sudden growth in demand at their jobs, lately

How do I forgive myself for my past mistakes, since their weight has made me insecure, and doesn't allow me to move on?

I understand you are working on your master's, but with the bachelor's qualification what are you allowed to do independently? Are you actually licensed as a behavioral therapist with a bachelor's in your country? That seems kind of wild.

>The most common complaint is not being able to deal with the sudden growth in demand at their jobs, lately
And what are the solutions to this you offer? What's helping? How are you approaching this kind of issue?

Your description of my avoidance is accurate, say something more about it.

What causes someone to become overly stubborn, become a pathological liar and never acknowledging their own mistakes and trying to pin the blame on other people in a very obsessive and compulsive way who also exhibits OCD behavior (eg placing an object in the same way and position for 10 years) as well as having fears such as 'if I wear this shirt it might get dirty so ill never wear it' or 'if I use a car I might get into a car accident so I will never use it' I am dealing with someone of this type in real life and its frustrating, what should be done?

She probably still remembers you, that's certain. Without going into detail, I'd say that past behavior is a good indicative of future behavior.
If she's done it before, who's to say there's no hope?

The habit of applying hair products consistently is usually easy to maintain. My clients are always very motivated to do so, the main issue is finding what medication works best. Or sometimes accepting that you want to be bald and grow a beard

Schizo behavior is as functional as any other behavior, and follows the same laws.
I usually start with a very thorough conversation with the family. People seem to be willing to cooperate if you explain them each and every step and give them feedback, even when they feel like they've tried everything. It takes effort to overcome the built up grief. Sometimes there's the need for psychiatric help before it gets to a stage where shaping can be efficient and consistent

He enjoys putting blame on other people (if it was his problem) in any way possible and in a scary obsessive and compulsive way, I also feel like he's deriving pleasure from doing this. He's also very calculating and lies often, Just to add.

I have terminal cancer. Family, friends are all supportive and offer me all that they have, they are always there for me, they have said so multiple times.

Even so, they can't feel what I feel. We all know that I won't be here for long, but I'm scared shitless nonetheless. It doesn't help that they avoid talking about it, even the doctors are hesitant to tell me the truth. How do I come to grips with this?

Thats true, ill remember that. When we were together we talked about how much we really liked eachother. Like I know she really likes me. Is there a chance, over time where she might want to give it another go?

Is hypersexuality real and at what point does one have it

Also, does the no contact rule work?

Can schizophrenics become functional members of society and advance high into dominance hierarchy? Also, I remember hearing from JBP that if you're not well socialized by the time you're a toddler, one could remain an outsider for the rest of their life, true or false and explain please?

To put it simply, you want to learn.
The first step to learning is usually describing what happened, going into detail. Putting it into words, so you can deal with it better.
Once you feel like you have a good grasp of what happened, you should realize that you've done what was best for you at the time.
Given your past resources, you've done what you could, for better or worse.
And finally, you want to get yourself into a situation where you can apply what you've learned. Aim for the experience of doing it right

A bachelors in here is roughly equivalent to a masters in the USA. It takes longer, but also habilitates you to work independently. The BCBAs in here are in the single digits still

It boils down to performance management in the home. I'll pinpoint what results we would like to achieve and what behaviors can produce those results, in a behavioral plan.
Most people are surprised when they first hear about how functional assessment, they usually think that there's something wrong with them or the people around them, and use some very funny terms to describe such

Alright i'll shoot.
I'm gonna be working my first job ever in my life and i feel incredibly anxious about it. My anxiety gives me horrible flatuence and i can't do anything about it. This causes me more anxiety and i'm scared that people will have a low horrible opinion of me because of something i can't control. This is also the reason i never go out. Any help?

>Your description of my avoidance is accurate, say something more about it.
Some questions I would ask about this are what would happen if you engaged with people? And has it ever occurred you that you'd like to change that?
It might be a target behavior for a plan

The main issue here is time. Your situation is a valid one, and once we define an acceptable goal, there'd be a clear path to achieving it.
It would probably require for you to do some things less, some things more, and some things differently. We would take it one step at a time, but you'd see improvement immediately. And we could talk about each of the situations you described, make sense of them and learn from them.
It is what a professional behavior therapist should be able to offer you

Damn I got quads and you won't even respond do my shit
