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
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.

Impulse Control
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.
