Impulse Control Disorders
Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Impulsivity is often about far more than simply “making bad choices.” It can be connected to ADHD, trauma, emotional overwhelm, unmet needs, nervous system dysregulation, mood shifts, or struggling to pause before acting when emotions run high.
For many people, impulsive behaviors develop for a reason — as coping, stimulation, relief, or survival — even when they later create shame, regret, or consequences.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and focused on understanding what is driving the behavior beneath the surface. Together, we work on building self-awareness, emotional regulation, and realistic strategies that strengthen self-trust and help create more intentional choices without relying on shame.

Impulse Control Disorders
Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Struggling with impulses can create cycles of shame, regret, secrecy, or feeling out of control. Therapy can help you slow down the space between urge and action, understand what triggers certain behaviours, and build skills for emotional regulation and values-based decision-making. My approach is compassionate, practical, and focused on helping you regain a sense of choice.

Impulse Control Disorders
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 Disorders
Dr. Kim Edwards
Psychologist, C.Psych.
Body Focused Repetitive Behaviours (BFRBs) is a term used to describe a number of ongoing repetitive self-grooming behaviours (including hair-pulling - Trichotillomania, skin-picking – Excoriation Disorder/Dermatillomania, nail-biting, teeth-grinding) that can cause lots of distress (e.g., shame, isolation) and impairment (e.g., avoidance of social situations, missed school, pain, hair loss) despite efforts to try and stop these behaviours.BFRBs are not simple habits that are easy to just stop if one tries hard enough. Seeking a specialized therapist is often needed to learn management and coping skills.
BFRBs are thought to be more common than once believed, affecting at least 2-5% of the general population. Unfortunately, despite being widespread, few doctors are aware of how to effectively treat these disorders leaving many individuals and their families confused and frightened about where to begin. Fortunately, at MindFit, we have treatment experts that offer comprehensive assessments as well as specialized and effective treatments for BFRBs.
MindFit’s approach to treating BFRBs involves (generally) a 10 session weekly Habit Busters program based on the Comprehensive Behavioural (ComB) treatment for BFRBs and involved additional components including Habit Reversal Training (which includes awareness training, competing response training, and social support), stimulus control procedures (considering environmental changes that make it harder to pick, pull etc.), distress tolerance and mindfulness strategies, and cognitive behavioural therapy (which includes addressing maladaptive/unhelpful thoughts that may contribute to pulling as well as that may impact her sense of confidence). The program is followed by biweekly to monthly booster sessions to help maintain gains. Handouts are sent ahead of each session and participants graduate from the program with a toolbox of strategies to manage BFRBs.
