Because I specialize with ADHD, impulse control is often a component of the work. OCD and addictions share similar threads of impulsive behaviours that we can dive into together to help you to feel back in control.
Neurofeedback can be a great addition to any treatment program to help clients with emotion regulation that can make individuals be more likely to make impulsive behaviours.

Impulse control disorder is another mental disorder that is an improperly used term in pop media as it is usual to have routines that make us better even though it would not distress us if we could not do them. ICD on the other hand is when these routines start to impact the sufferer’s life, they inhibit them from fully functioning daily. Thus, people with ICD can feel as though their impulses and behaviours are outside of their control and are somehow unnatural.
An impulse control disorder is a condition in which a person has trouble controlling emotions or behaviors. Often, the behaviors violate the rights of others or conflict with societal norms and the law. With the CBT approach some of these behaviors can be managed.
