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
Jordan Dye - Prepared Acceptance
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, EMT
For professionals accustomed to high-adrenaline environments, impulse control disorders often emerge as a way to cope with the "crash" that happens after a shift or a deployment. Rather than viewing these behaviors as a lack of discipline, I focus on identifying the specific, underlying emotion—whether it is unresolved anger, numbness, or high-functioning anxiety—that is driving the urge to act. My approach moves away from simply "numbing" the impulse and instead works on processing the emotional engine behind it, giving you back the control you've lost. Drawing on my background in the military and emergency services, I provide a direct, tactical framework to help you recognize these triggers in real-time and replace reactive behaviors with sustainable, intentional responses.

Impulse Control
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for impulse control disorders, compulsive behaviors, emotional reactivity, and difficulty managing urges that interfere with relationships, work performance, decision-making, or overall quality of life. Many high-functioning and high-achieving individuals struggle privately with impulsive behaviors, emotional overwhelm, compulsive habits, anger, risk-taking, or difficulty slowing down and feeling in control of their reactions.
These patterns are often not simply about “lack of discipline” or willpower. Impulse control difficulties are commonly connected to unresolved trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, attachment wounds, or nervous system patterns developed over time. Many clients find themselves repeating behaviors they intellectually understand but emotionally feel unable to stop.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to impulse control therapy, helping clients identify and address the deeper emotional and psychological factors contributing to impulsive patterns. Therapy focuses on increasing emotional awareness, strengthening self-regulation, reducing reactivity, and creating healthier ways of responding to stress, emotions, and interpersonal challenges.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, mindfulness-based techniques, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support lasting change. Treatment is designed to help clients process unresolved emotional experiences, improve executive functioning and emotional control, and develop healthier coping strategies that support both personal and professional success.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to create a personalized treatment plan based on their unique experiences, goals, and lifestyle demands. Therapy provides a supportive, confidential, and non-judgmental environment where clients can better understand the root causes of impulsive behavior while developing practical tools for lasting emotional balance and behavioral change.
Many successful individuals appear composed externally while internally struggling with stress, pressure, compulsive patterns, or emotional overwhelm. Brad’s approach helps clients move beyond short-term coping patterns and create meaningful, sustainable improvements in emotional health, relationships, confidence, and overall functioning.
The goal of therapy is not only symptom management, but helping clients gain greater clarity, emotional stability, self-control, and fulfillment so they can live and perform at their highest level with greater peace, confidence, and authenticity.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, providing confidential and convenient access to specialized trauma-focused therapy from the comfort and privacy of home.
