I work with those seeking to understand compulsive thoughts or unwanted behavior and then develop successful pathways to overcome them. These changes can take place quickly, much quicker than most originally thought.

Impulse control is a big topic that encompasses many things such as binge eating, anger management issues, drug and alcohol abuse, self harm, anxiety, and much more. All are the result of emotional triggers that set off the behavior and often the client doesn't realize what initiates the negative response. The first thing is to uncover exactly what it is that triggers the problem behavior and then neutralize the trigger or provide a positive trigger in its place. Often, simply understanding what starts the unwanted response goes a long way towards change. This is, again, one of the bread and butter issues that hypnotherapists successfully deal with every day.c

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.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
Impulsive behaviors often bring us much-needed relief in the moment, even though they later can lead to shame and/or regret. Rather than viewing these behaviors as failures of self-control, I like to instead ask clients what the impulse expresses or helps you manage. In other words, what language is the impulsive behavior communicating unconsciously? Together we can explore the feelings, conflicts, and relational patterns that precede acting impulsively, including experiences that may be difficult to recognize or put into words.
