Impulsiveness, a positive quality in certain situations, can come to be regarded as annoying, akin to hostility and anger. But, like all forms of behaviour, it can be measured, evaluated, understood and corrected by the person who suffers from it. How recurrent does impulsive behaviour have to become to be considered problematic? To what extent can impulsiveness become an illness? How does it relate to how we manage our emotions?
This book, which will empower readers to take charge of their health, offers the necessary practical information to understand one’s impulsiveness and the therapeutic advice to deal with it directly. As with other forms of behaviour, impulsiveness can be controlled and we can all learn to manage it ourselves.
