Kind Extinction: The Inner Work of Doing Better
Rehearsing who we want to be when it’s hard: An experiential exploration of extinction, compassion, and NLP in practice
Aug 27th, 2025 at 4-6pm EST
Traditional extinction procedures in behavior analysis have long been deemed “effective” but are often experienced as emotionally aversive and disconnected, both for the individuals implementing them and for the children involved (e.g. Lerman, Iwata, & Wallace, 2013). This webinar explores Kind Extinction (Tarbox & Tarbox, 2023), a compassionate and connection-focused variation of extinction that honors emotional experience without reinforcing interfering behavior.
