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

Impulse Control
Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
If a person has an impulse control disorder such as Intermittent explosive disorder, Kleptomania, or Oppositional defiant disorder, they feel like they have no control over those behaviors and seek the release that comes from exploding, stealing, or constantly acting out, even if it means hurting relationships or getting in trouble with the law. These kinds of behaviors can have a root in negative childhood experiences that would cause their mind to form a belief that this behavior is needed somehow, as a way to survive or cope with something. Rapid Transformational Therapy can help this person to identify what happened in those formative years and the belief that is driving the behavior, then once the pattern is understood, and determined that it isn't needed, it can be changed at the subconscious level to become a helpful and beneficial pattern of thought and behavior. The person will then be able to feel more in control of themselves, be able to let go of those urges, and have the power to resist acting on them. Ongoing support is available after the session.

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.

Halifax is Atlantic Canada's largest city and a hub for universities, the military, and ocean-tech industries, creating a therapy community serving students, naval personnel, and knowledge workers navigating the pressures of high-achieving careers in a smaller city. Dalhousie University and Canadian Forces Base Halifax generate distinct demand for therapists who specialize in academic stress, military trauma, and the particular challenges of military family life. Nova Scotia Health provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving the South End, Bedford, and Dartmouth. Halifax's relatively small size means specialist therapist availability can be limited in some areas, and telehealth has become especially important for accessing care across Atlantic Canada.
