From explosive anger to binge eating and drinking, more of us than ever before are struggling with the consequences of impulsivity.
The Better Self-Control Workbook, written by clinical psychologist Dr Yuliya Richard, sheds light on what impulsive behaviour looks like and what you can do to regain control. Guiding you through a series of practical activities, Dr Richard provides a roadmap to help anyone struggling to overcome impulsivity in their life.
The Many Faces of Impulsivity—Where Do We Begin?
- Binge eating or drinking
- Excessive weight gain
- Experiencing episodes of explosive anger or depression
- Inability to focus
- Overspending
- Craving risks
- Substance abuse
- Inflicting self-pain or attempting suicide
All these actions demonstrate spontaneous and reckless behavior without heeding consequences that might follow.
Satisfying an urge might feel great at the moment. But the more addictions are fed, the more difficult it is to exhibit self-control—eventually leading to distorted perception, unproductiveness, health problems, and damaged relationships.
If you’re concerned about your impulsive tendencies and are searching for practical and effective ways to permanently rid yourself of toxic behaviors, this book presents the core techniques of cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, and mindfulness on building resilience and control for every occasion.
