Impulsive Behaviors can be damaging

When you feel strong emotions such as anger, frustration, a strong desire or an attraction to another person, impulsive actions can occur. Examples are using alcohol or drugs, gambling, bingeing on foods, getting involved with another person, becoming angry and yelling at someone etc. You may regret your actions afterwards only when you experience negative outcomes. You may hurt your health, someone close to you, or perhaps your job and reputation.

When you experience a strong impulse to do something it is important to take a moment and become mindful of the consequences that can occur. Imagine how your actions will impact yourself and others and make the commitment to make a better choice.
​

In future posts I will discuss how you can become more mindful of different types of impulsive actions. As psychologists we help people overcome impulsive actions and understand underlying issues that are driving impulsive behaviors
Thank You..

Improving Communication

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed and get angry because you feel you can't take it any more? Maybe you took on too many tasks and were not able to set boundaries and say "no"? It may be difficult to admit to yourself that you have limits and cannot please all the people that need your help.
You may find it helpful to listen to your inner feelings and learn to be more honest and authentic while at the same time honoring the needs of others. A possible communication may be: I wish I could help you and do this for you, but I simply do not have the time and the energy to do it. I hope you can understand this. A person who cares about you will understand your situation and not make you feel guilty.
As psychologists we help people become more aware of their inner feelings because often people are not in touch with their feelings, especially when they grew up with the message that they have to be tough and not cry and learned to suppress feelings..
I invite you to share your experiences regarding feelings.
Thank you.
