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
Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Impulse control disorders often stem from trauma, unmet needs, or difficulties with emotional regulation. In therapy, I provide a safe, supportive space for clients to explore impulses without judgment. Through co-regulation and expanding the window of tolerance, impulses gradually soften, helping clients experience them without acting on them and develop greater self-awareness and control.
