Impulse Control
iRecovery Behavioral Healthcare
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW, LMHC
Acting on an urge brings fast relief, and that relief is precisely what makes the pattern so difficult to break. Our team at iRecovery works with impulse control disorders by mapping the chain of situations, feelings, and thoughts that reliably precede the behavior, which makes intervention possible earlier in the sequence. Motivational interviewing is central to this work, because most people in this position feel genuinely torn, and pressure from outside tends to strengthen resistance rather than resolve.
