Impulse Control
Erin Ibrahim
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP(Q)
Impulse control struggles often leave people cycling between the urge to act, a brief moment of relief, and a longer wave of shame that keeps the pattern going. In Ajax, Pickering, and across Durham Region, I work with teens and adults around impulsive behaviours linked to anger, self harm urges, spending, screen use, and other patterns that have felt hard to interrupt. Using DBT, CBT, ACT, and non pathologizing approaches, we build awareness of the triggers underneath, grow your window of pause, and address the needs the behaviours have been trying to meet.
