Impulse Control
Danielle Thurman (Roots and Wings Family Therapy)
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Impulse control disorders often feel like being hijacked by an internal force—a sudden urge that overrides your better judgment, leaving behind shame or frustration. As a therapist trained in both Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I offer a compassionate, non-pathologizing approach to help you regain inner harmony.
Instead of simply fighting your impulses, we work together to understand them.
Using IFS: We identify the "part" of you that drives the impulsive behavior—often a protective "Firefighter" part trying to soothe intense, hidden pain. By befriending this part, we can understand its positive intention, reduce its extreme reactivity, and heal the underlying "exile" it is protecting.
Using EFT: We tune into the immediate bodily sensations and primary emotions (like fear, sadness, or shame) that trigger your actions. We create a safe space to process these emotions, allowing you to move from reactive patterns to responsive, self-compassionate choices.
Together, we will shift from "What is wrong with me?" to "What is this part trying to do for me?" and foster a calm, confident "Self" that leads your internal system.

Impulse Control
MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Impulse Control Disorders, such as compulsive shopping, gambling, or hair-pulling, can be challenging to manage due to the powerful urges that drive these behaviors. Hypnotherapy offers a promising approach by helping individuals access underlying subconscious triggers and reprogram automatic responses. Through guided relaxation and suggestion, hypnotherapists work with clients to strengthen self-control, increase awareness of urges, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. This process can foster improved impulse regulation and reduce the frequency and intensity of impulsive behaviors, especially when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan alongside behavioral therapies and medical support.
