Impulse Control
Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Impulse-control difficulties can create powerful urges that feel difficult to resist, sometimes leading to regret, shame, relationship conflict, or harmful consequences. These patterns are not simply a lack of willpower; they may be connected to emotional distress, trauma, stress, or learned cycles of short-term relief.
I help clients identify triggers, recognize the space between an urge and an action, and develop healthier ways to regulate emotions and tolerate discomfort. Using approaches such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and hypnotherapy when appropriate, we work to strengthen self-awareness, accountability, and the ability to make choices that reflect your values and long-term goals.

Impulse Control
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.

Empowered Wellbeing, Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery Support
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
Similar to EDs if the basis is CPTSD we can apply a parts/systems approach. If its more unclear in terms of the origin, we might apply a more functional and integrative approach, for example applying distance TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) support. We also encourage peer group adjunct support if the behavior is compulsive. Please also refer to the ED section for more examples of how this might apply to more process based compulsions.

Impulse Control
Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
We live in a world that has designed the information technology system to condition people to respond to life based on emotion and impulse. As a matter of environmental conditioning, our daily interactions are conditioning us to respond to life based on impulse. Its no wonder that people struggle with impulse control disorders. At Growth and Change Counseling we collaborate with you to empower you to reclaim your decision making process, slow down decisions and responses, and increase frustration tolerance. This counteracts the compulsive needs of many for immediate gratification.
