Impulse Control
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
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.
