Impulse Control
Kaimana Psychology Inc.
Psychologist, BA, MACP, Registered Psychologist
My approach to working with impulse control difficulties focuses on understanding the role that control plays in a person’s sense of safety and security. For many individuals, the need to control situations, outcomes, or even their own emotional responses can become a way of managing uncertainty and reducing discomfort. But how much control do we truly have, and when does the pursuit of it begin to limit us rather than protect us? Therapy focuses on recognizing when control is no longer serving the client, while building greater flexibility in thinking, emotional awareness, and the ability to tolerate uncertainty. Together, we work toward moving away from rigid, all-or-nothing perspectives and embracing the gray areas where multiple possibilities can exist. By learning to pause, consider alternative responses, and become more comfortable with the unexpected, clients can begin to make choices that are intentional rather than driven by an urge to regain control. Sometimes, letting go creates opportunities we never would have considered otherwise, whether that means discovering an incredible new restaurant we would never have chosen ourselves or allowing a coworker to introduce a new process that makes our day-to-day life easier. My goal is to help clients recognize that flexibility does not mean losing control of their lives; it means developing the confidence to navigate life without needing to control every outcome. Through this process, clients can build resilience, improve decision-making, and become more open to the opportunities that arise when they allow life to unfold.

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
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you struggle with impulse control, you may find yourself acting quickly in ways you later regret. Whether it is spending, gambling, explosive reactions, sexual behaviours, or other urges, the pull can feel intense and immediate. You may promise yourself it will not happen again, only to feel caught in the same cycle. Over time, this can lead to shame, damaged relationships, and a loss of confidence in your own self-control.
At Selah Counselling, we approach impulse control disorders with compassion and structure. Impulsivity is often connected to nervous system dysregulation, unmet emotional needs, trauma, or difficulty tolerating distress. Together, we work to slow the cycle down. We strengthen awareness of triggers, build distress tolerance skills, and develop practical strategies that increase pause and choice. Our goal is not simply to stop behaviours, but to help you understand what is driving them and to build the internal steadiness that supports lasting change. You can learn to respond intentionally rather than impulsively.
