The Origin of Impulsive Behavior
There are aspects of all us that we do not like, that we ignore, that we deny, that we hide. Personal energy is associated with all aspects of ourselves. The more strongly we deny or hide any aspect of ourselves, the more likely the energy there will express itself in ways not of our choosing. Clinicians have a way of saying this: "We act out our repressed feelings."
How do we help change the Impulsive Behavior?
- We first identify that aspect of yourself that you don't like or that you deny
- We then help you to accept and appreciate that part(s) of yourself
- We then discover what it takes to meet the needs of that part of yourself so that it doesn't have to act out on its own
- We help you to be a more integrated person with a fuller ability to choose what you do
