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.

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.

Dr. Matthew Clyde
Psychologist, PhD
Impulse control challenges can make life feel like a series of "act now, regret later" moments. Whether it involves shopping, gambling, hair pulling, or explosive outbursts, these behaviors often serve as a misguided attempt to soothe internal distress. Therapy provides a non-judgmental space to slow down the process between the urge and the action. We work on strengthening your "inhibitory muscles" and finding healthier ways to cope with the tension that drives impulsive acts.

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.

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
