Impulse Control Disorders
Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Impulses take many shapes and forms and oftentimes, can make an individual feel so powerless and frustrated with why they may feel or behave the way that they do. We may ask ourselves "why do I want to do this" or "why do I do this", and answering these questions is the first step in treatment. I take a proactive approach in creating a treatment protocol for clients with impulse control issues to aid them in alleviating the problematic behaviour(s).

Riki Stopnicki
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Impulse control disorders (ICDs) encompass a cluster of mental and behavioral disorders characterized by an absence of self-control and an inability to resist the impulse to engage in harmful actions. I use CBT which assists individuals in developing skills to recognize negative thought patterns and subsequently implement positive changes, enabling them to steer clear of potentially harmful behaviors. It serves as an effective method for acquiring strategies to cope with stress in healthy manners and achieve relaxation in various situations.

Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
Impulse control disorder is another mental disorder that is an improperly used term in pop media as it is usual to have routines that make us better even though it would not distress us if we could not do them. ICD on the other hand is when these routines start to impact the sufferer’s life, they inhibit them from fully functioning daily. Thus, people with ICD can feel as though their impulses and behaviours are outside of their control and are somehow unnatural.
