ADHD Impulsivity and Therapy

Have you ever found yourself blurting something out in a conversation, only to realize later it was inappropriate or hurt someone’s feelings? Or maybe you start a project, get halfway through, and then jump to something else without finishing? What about spending money on impulse or constantly misplacing things like your keys or phone? These are all signs of ADHD-related impulsivity. ADHD isn’t just about daydreaming or getting distracted—it can also make it tough to stop and think before acting, leading to things like risk-taking, bad habits, or mood swings.

At Jerry Walker Therapy Services, we understand how challenging this can be, but we’re here to help! Our Neurofeedback and Counseling therapy can give you the tools to manage these behaviors and feel more in control. You can also make changes at home to keep yourself on track—like being aware of your triggers, writing to-do lists so you don’t lose focus, planning ahead to avoid impulsive decisions, practicing mindfulness, and setting boundaries for yourself. These strategies can really help you manage the ups and downs of ADHD!
