Elka Cubacub
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
If you have an impulse control disorder, you may find yourself doing things you logically know are harmful. You might have made multiple attempts to stop using a particular substance or behavior, yet still find yourself repeating it. This is connected to the way our brains process reward. Often, there’s deep shame afterward but it doesn't carry over into actual change. In our work together, we focus on slowing down that process—learning to notice the thoughts, images, and sensations that arise with an urge, and recognizing what it feels like in your body. As we do this, the urgency begins to ease, and you start to regain a sense of agency. Many people describe feeling a calm clarity in place of the craving’s intensity. I work from a harm reduction approach, which means I recognize that the role a particular substance or behavior plays, or doesn’t play, in a person’s life after recovery is unique to each individual.

Liza Moreno
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CADC
Impulse control disorders can be managed by teaching new coping strategies, identifying triggers, and addressing the underlying thoughts and emotions behind impulsive actions. Through modalities like CBT; individuals can learn to pause, reflect, and make more intentional choices rather than reacting on a whim. This process ultimately builds self-awareness and self-discipline, empowering a person to better manage their behavior.
Los trastornos del control de impulsos pueden controlarse enseñando nuevas estrategias de afrontamiento, identificando los desencadenantes y abordando los pensamientos y emociones subyacentes a las acciones impulsivas. Mediante modalidades como la terapia cognitivo-conductual (TCC), las personas pueden aprender a detenerse, reflexionar y tomar decisiones más intencionales en lugar de reaccionar por impulso. Este proceso, en última instancia, desarrolla la autoconciencia y la autodisciplina, lo que permite a la persona gestionar mejor su comportamiento.

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

Difficulty managing impulses can lead to patterns that feel overwhelming or out of control—whether it's outbursts, compulsive behaviors, or risky actions. In therapy, I help clients explore the underlying emotional and neurological factors contributing to these behaviors, while building practical tools for self-regulation and awareness. Using evidence-based methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and emotion regulation strategies, we work to strengthen impulse control, reduce distress, and foster more intentional, balanced decision-making.

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.
