Impulse Control
Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Impulse control disorders reflect a brain where the accelerator is stuck and the brakes are weak — the prefrontal cortex, responsible for pausing, evaluating, and redirecting behavior, simply cannot keep pace with the brain's drive circuitry.
Neurofeedback strengthens these braking systems directly, training the prefrontal cortex toward greater activation and control. Over time, the gap between impulse and action widens — creating space for choice where none previously existed.

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.
