Impulse Control
MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Impulse Control Disorders, such as compulsive shopping, gambling, or hair-pulling, can be challenging to manage due to the powerful urges that drive these behaviors. Hypnotherapy offers a promising approach by helping individuals access underlying subconscious triggers and reprogram automatic responses. Through guided relaxation and suggestion, hypnotherapists work with clients to strengthen self-control, increase awareness of urges, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. This process can foster improved impulse regulation and reduce the frequency and intensity of impulsive behaviors, especially when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan alongside behavioral therapies and medical support.

Impulse Control
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Impulse control difficulties often reflect internal conflict, unmet emotional needs, and patterns of self-regulation formed early in life. My work integrates psychoanalytic methods and hypnosis to explore the emotional meanings beneath impulsive behavior. Together, we develop greater awareness, agency, and emotional regulation.

Impulse Control
Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with impulse control and behaviors that feel difficult to manage or stop. This may include addictive patterns, out of control sexual behavior, impulsive decision making, or actions that repeatedly create problems in relationships, work, or self trust. These behaviors are often connected to emotional regulation, stress, trauma, or unmet needs rather than a lack of willpower.
In therapy, we focus on understanding what drives impulsive behavior and how it functions in your life. Together, we work to slow things down, increase awareness, and develop practical strategies for managing urges and emotions before they lead to actions you later regret. This includes building stronger coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and identifying situations that increase risk.
When impulsivity impacts a relationship, I also help couples address breaches of trust, communication breakdowns, and ongoing cycles of conflict. The goal is not perfection or control, but greater consistency, accountability, and the ability to make choices that align with your values and long term wellbeing.

Similar to EDs if the basis is CPTSD we can apply a parts/systems approach. If its more unclear in terms of the origin, we might apply a more functional and integrative approach, for example applying distance TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) support. We also encourage peer group adjunct support if the behavior is compulsive. Please also refer to the ED section for more examples of how this might apply to more process based compulsions.

Impulse 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
