Impulsive Behaviors

There are some serious impulsive behaviors such as eating disorder, alcohol and drug abuse, deliberate self-harm and suicide.

Teresita Calero, Psychotherapist with Care & Counseling at Baptist Health South Florida, says it is having self-awareness being able to redirect the impulses which are not favorable, and “as you have that self-awareness, having tools and techniques to be able to wedge the behavior,” she affirms.

She says it’s important to identify some things in people’s surrounding, because it helps them to come back to the here and the now.
