Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
When behaviour keeps happening in ways you don't fully understand or want, it's easy to land on "I just need more willpower." But impulse control struggles are rarely about effort. They're usually about unmet needs, unprocessed experiences, or a nervous system that learned to cope in ways that made sense once and now cause problems. I work with people to understand the why underneath the pattern, not just manage the behaviour on the surface.

Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Struggling with impulse control involves difficulties with regulating emotions or behaviours. The struggle to control emotions and behaviours often leads people to feel regretful about something that they did or said. “I wish I hadn’t cried in public” or “If only I hadn’t lashed out at him” are common signs of people struggling to control their impulses. In working together to help you gain more control, I will introduce mindfulness into therapy and values-oriented work from the acceptance and commitment therapy model. Mindfulness helps us become more aware of our thoughts, emotions, and physiology so that we have more control over our actions. Values work helps us act in line with how we deeply want to behave, which is fundamental to the healing process. Once clients identify their values and have tools to act more mindfully they often say that they have gained renewed trust in their ability to behave in ways that makes them proud and fulfilled rather than upset and regretful. If you are someone struggling with impulse control, feel free to contact me. I would be happy to help you on your journey towards mindfulness.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you struggle with impulse control, you may find yourself acting quickly in ways you later regret. Whether it is spending, gambling, explosive reactions, sexual behaviours, or other urges, the pull can feel intense and immediate. You may promise yourself it will not happen again, only to feel caught in the same cycle. Over time, this can lead to shame, damaged relationships, and a loss of confidence in your own self-control.
At Selah Counselling, we approach impulse control disorders with compassion and structure. Impulsivity is often connected to nervous system dysregulation, unmet emotional needs, trauma, or difficulty tolerating distress. Together, we work to slow the cycle down. We strengthen awareness of triggers, build distress tolerance skills, and develop practical strategies that increase pause and choice. Our goal is not simply to stop behaviours, but to help you understand what is driving them and to build the internal steadiness that supports lasting change. You can learn to respond intentionally rather than impulsively.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Impulse control disorders often stem from trauma, unmet needs, or difficulties with emotional regulation. In therapy, I provide a safe, supportive space for clients to explore impulses without judgment. Through co-regulation and expanding the window of tolerance, impulses gradually soften, helping clients experience them without acting on them and develop greater self-awareness and control.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
Impulse control is a big topic that encompasses many things such as binge eating, anger management issues, drug and alcohol abuse, self harm, anxiety, and much more. All are the result of emotional triggers that set off the behavior and often the client doesn't realize what initiates the negative response. The first thing is to uncover exactly what it is that triggers the problem behavior and then neutralize the trigger or provide a positive trigger in its place. Often, simply understanding what starts the unwanted response goes a long way towards change. This is, again, one of the bread and butter issues that hypnotherapists successfully deal with every day.c
