Impulse Control
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.

Impulse Control
Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Impulse control disorders can be greatly helped through working with the central nervous system and brain using neurofeedback and positive reframing hypnosis. When the nervous system and brain are balanced and experience a state of calm healthy new programs can be given to the body and mind.

Impulse Control
Havenwood Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
When emotions become intense, it can feel difficult to pause before reacting. Impulsive behaviours can create problems in relationships, work, finances, or other areas of life and may leave you feeling frustrated or ashamed afterward.
Taylor offers a non-judgmental space to explore the emotions, triggers, and protective patterns that can contribute to impulsive behaviour. Therapy can help you build greater awareness and develop practical strategies for responding with more choice and intention.

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.
