Impulse Control
Dr. Matthew Clyde
Psychologist, PhD
Impulse control challenges can make life feel like a series of "act now, regret later" moments. Whether it involves shopping, gambling, hair pulling, or explosive outbursts, these behaviors often serve as a misguided attempt to soothe internal distress. Therapy provides a non-judgmental space to slow down the process between the urge and the action. We work on strengthening your "inhibitory muscles" and finding healthier ways to cope with the tension that drives impulsive acts.

Impulse Control
MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
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
