How to Overcome Impulse Control Disorder

Présentation

Do you feel trapped by behaviors you cannot control despite repeated efforts? Impulse control disorders affect millions of people who live in shame and misunderstanding of their own actions. Whether it involves excessive gambling, uncontrolled shopping, disproportionate anger outbursts, or repetitive behaviors that leave marks on the body, these disorders share a common mechanism: the inability to resist an urge whose consequences are already known. This book offers an exploration of the roots of these behaviors, from childhood wounds to the cognitive patterns that sustain them. It examines the neurobiological mechanisms at play, the warning signs to watch for, and the criteria for assessing the severity of one's situation. Beyond understanding, it opens concrete pathways for interrupting the impulsive cycle, regulating intense emotional states, and building a lasting change strategy. Family members and professionals will also find keys for providing support without judgment. A guide that reconciles clinical rigor and accessibility for all those seeking to regain power over their behaviors.
