Why We Act Before We Think: The Science Behind Impulsivity

Have you ever asked yourself “Why do I keep doing things I regret?” — whether it’s snapping in anger, overspending, binge eating, or falling into old habits?
Science shows it’s not just about “self-control.” It’s about how your brain, hormones, and genetics work together.

A new review published in The Egyptian Journal of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery reveals:

Impulsivity is deeply rooted in brain biology — areas like the prefrontal cortex and limbic system control decision-making and emotions.

Hormones such as cortisol (stress), ghrelin (hunger), and testosterone influence how impulsively we react.

Neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin — and even certain genes — shape our drive for instant rewards.

Men and women experience impulsivity differently due to hormonal and brain differences.

Understanding this means impulsive actions aren’t just “bad choices.” They’re biological patterns that can be rewired with the right tools and guidance.

At Impulsivity, we use science-based strategies to help people break free from destructive cycles, rebuild emotional control, and strengthen relationships.

Because healing starts with understanding how your mind really works. 💙

The Body Remembers What the Mind Tries to Forget

Trauma isn’t just a memory—it’s an experience that lives in the body. When we go through overwhelming stress or emotional pain, our nervous system learns to stay on alert, even long after the danger has passed. This is why some people feel anxious, reactive, or shut down without understanding why.

The truth is, the body keeps score. It stores emotions, tension, and unprocessed memories as a form of protection. But healing begins when we learn to listen—to notice how our body responds, where it tightens, and what it’s trying to say.

Somatic practices, mindfulness, and emotional awareness help us reconnect with our bodies, allowing release, calm, and true regulation to begin. The body doesn’t betray us—it’s simply waiting for us to listen.

It doesn't always start with a fight.
It starts with a tiny want.

You wish they'd text first.
You hope they’d notice when you’re quiet.
You want them to ask how your day really was, not just out of habit.

But you don’t say anything.
Because it’s small.
Because it feels silly.
Because you don’t want to seem needy.

So you tuck it away.
And then another.
And another.

Until one day, you’re not sure why you feel distant.
Why you’re irritated by the way they chew.
Why you’re suddenly craving space.

It wasn’t the big things.
It was the quiet accumulation of tiny unmet wants.

Love doesn’t unravel loudly.
It frays in silence.

So speak the small things.
Ask for the hug.
Say you need the check-in.
Let the tiny wants be seen—before they take over 🥀

There’s a moment when love shifts = from reaching out to protecting your own heart. I didn’t delete those messages because I stopped caring. I deleted them because I finally understood that love isn’t always about being heard. Sometimes, it’s about honoring the silence that follows when someone stops listening 🍂

In relationships, communication isn’t just about speaking; it’s about feeling safe enough to be heard. When that safety fades, even love begins to hesitate. Emotional withdrawal, message avoidance, and hesitation to reach out are often signs of deeper relational wounds; ones that can be healed, not ignored. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck between wanting to reconnect and fearing rejection, you’re not alone. Many couples experience this silent tension, where love still exists but communication breaks down.

That’s why the Relationship Repair course and book were created. To help couples rebuild trust, restore emotional safety, and learn how to speak and listen with intention. Because healing doesn’t start with silence. It starts with understanding. Explore them here: https://bit.ly/ImpulsivityTest

Happy World Mental Health Day 🤍

Mental health doesn’t live in isolation. It breathes between people. In 2025, we’re finally naming the invisible wounds: emotional neglect, coercive control, relational trauma.

Healing begins in safe connection.
In the partner who listens without fixing.
In the friend who holds space for your silence.
In the therapist who helps you rewrite the story.
Love isn’t the absence of conflict. It’s the presence of repair.

Mental health is relational. Let’s build bonds that heal💏

It isn’t just touch.
it’s the language of safety.
Where skin remembers what the mind forgets,
and the body says, “you’re home.”

In the hush between heartbeats,
two nervous systems learn to breathe together,
each exhale a quiet surrender
to being fully known.

It’s dopamine and oxytocin, yes..
but it’s also forgiveness.
It’s every unspoken word
finally finding form through warmth and weight.

Making love is not losing yourself.
It’s returning..
to the calm beneath the chaos,
to the self that only exists
when it’s safe to fall apart
and come back whole again. 🥀

Both feel good in different ways. Admiration can make us feel seen for our strengths, while understanding can make us feel safe in our vulnerabilities.

If you had to choose just one, which would matter more to you in this moment, and why? ❣️

Love stories like this remind us that behind every wedding day are years of struggle, healing, and quiet hope. For Selena and Benny, today is not just about rings and vows. It’s about finally arriving at a love they once weren’t sure they’d ever find.

🎀𝑺𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒂 has been through storms most of us can only imagine. Relationships that hurt more than they healed. The crushing pressure of being watched, judged, and picked apart by the public. Struggles with mental health and illness that tested her spirit. Yet somehow, through all of it, she kept her heart open = 𝙛𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡𝙮.

🎀𝑩𝒆𝒏𝒏𝒚’s path looked different, but it carried its own weight. While his name has been behind countless hit songs, he’s lived much of his life in the background, wrestling with his own self-image and feeling overlooked in a world obsessed with appearances. His battle was quieter = 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙞𝙢𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛.

And then came the years of friendship. Late nights in the studio, laughter between takes, the kind of trust that grows when you create together. That’s where their story began. Not in tabloids. Not in staged moments. But in the slow, steady weaving of two lives. And when it turned into love, it wasn’t always celebrated. People questioned them. Some mocked the way they looked together. The outside world had opinions = 𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬

But they didn’t let the noise define them. Instead, they built something real. They learned how to be patient with differences. They learned how to stay grounded in a love that wasn’t perfect.
And that’s why this marriage matters. It’s not just another celebrity headline. It’s a reminder that love isn’t about two flawless people finally colliding but about two imperfect souls choosing to grow, to heal, and to rise above what once felt like weakness.

💍 Selena and Benny’s story reminds us of this simple truth:
Love doesn’t erase our struggles. It transforms them into strength.

🌿 And maybe that’s the lesson for us, too. Relationships that last are not found. They’re built.
If you’ve ever carried heartbreak, betrayal, or doubt, know that healing and lasting love are still possible. There are tools, support, and stories waiting to help you rebuild and believe again.

Intimacy grows when we pay attention to the subtle ways love manifests. Did your partner offer support, make you laugh, or remember something important? Sharing these reflections can help us see love more clearly. I’d love to know = 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤? 🖊
