Chronic Impulsivity

Chronic Impulsivity

"Chronic Impulsivity" in a psychology issue list refers to a persistent pattern of making hasty decisions and acting on urges without considering the consequences. Chronic impulsivity can be a symptom of a mental health condition, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), or Substance Use Disorders. It can also be a symptom of other psychiatric conditions such as bipolar disorder, depression or anxiety.

Chronic impulsivity can lead to a range of negative consequences, including:

  • Poor academic or work performance
  • Financial difficulties
  • Relationship problems
  • Legal or social problems
  • Substance abuse
  • Impulsive behaviors that can be harmful to oneself or others

Psychological treatment, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), or behavioral therapy can be helpful for individuals struggling with chronic impulsivity. These treatments aim to help individuals understand the underlying reasons for their impulsive behavior and develop more effective coping strategies to manage their urges and improve their decision-making abilities. Medication management may also be used to help individuals manage symptoms of impulsivity associated with certain mental health conditions.

Working with a mental health professional can be beneficial for individuals struggling with chronic impulsivity, as they can provide support, guidance, and help individuals develop effective coping strategies to manage their behavior and improve their overall well-being.

Potential benefits of a free initial consultation

During this first session: potential clients have the chance to learn more about you and your approach before agreeing to work together.

Offering a free consultation will help you build trust with the client. It shows them that you want to give them a chance to make sure you are the right person to help them before they move forward. Additionally, you should also be confident that you can support your clients and that the client has problems that you can help them cope with. Also, you can avoid any ethical difficult situations about charging a client for a session in which you choose not to proceed based on fit.

We've found that people are more likely to proceed with therapy after a free consultation, as it lowers the barrier to starting the process. Many people starting therapy are apprehensive about the unknown, even if they've had sessions before. Our culture associates a "risk-free" mindset with free offers, helping people feel more comfortable during the initial conversation with a specialist.
