Sexual addiction is often referred to as a disorder of sexual compulsivity. Despite a person's best efforts to curb or stop sexual behaviours (usually in secrecy) they lack the internal control to refrain. This has been a growing field of addiction, especially with the advent of the internet and ease of access to pornography.

A subtype of ADHD is "hyperactive / impulsive". Impulsiveness can be challenging to deal with, and it can be helpful to talk with someone about how to manage those symptoms! While people with ADHD brains may be more wired for following urges with knee-jerk reactivity, impulse control is also a skill that we can work on together.

Impulse Control Disorders
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Impulses take many shapes and forms and oftentimes, can make an individual feel so powerless and frustrated with why they may feel or behave the way that they do. We may ask ourselves "why do I want to do this" or "why do I do this", and answering these questions is the first step in treatment. I take a proactive approach in creating a treatment protocol for clients with impulse control issues to aid them in alleviating the problematic behaviour(s).
