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
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.

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.
