Behavioral disorders can significantly affect daily life, interpersonal relationships, and emotional well-being. If you or someone you know is experiencing difficulties in controlling behavior, it is important to know that you are not alone.

 

Behavioral disorders are characterized by persistent patterns of challenging behavior, impulsivity, aggressiveness, disobedience, or violation of social and legal norms. These disorders may manifest in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood and may be associated with underlying emotional difficulties, such as anxiety, depression, or impulse control problems.

Clearly, it’s hard to go to therapy and talk to someone about your deepest problems. But remember, here you won't be judged. The basis of Humanist Psychology is to accept others unconditionally. So it’s a safe place where you can open up to find solutions.

​

Before intervening in the problem it is important to evaluate it from different perspectives and then apply a personalized and evidence-based therapeutic approach. We will work together and, if necessary, your loved ones to understand the triggers and underlying motivations of problem behavior, and develop effective strategies to promote positive changes in your behavior.

 

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy is one of the most used and effective approaches for the treatment of behavioral disorders. We will explore your thinking patterns and beliefs that contribute to your challenging behavior. I will provide you with tools and techniques to identify and challenge distorted thoughts, develop problem-solving skills and improve your communication and stress management skills.

There is the semaphore technique which help you to learn how to control your aggressive or explosive behavior. Imagine that you have 3 levels of your emotions. When you are calm, you are green light. When you start to "warm up" you are amber. The explosion would mean you went red. Between amber and red there is a point of no return. Learn to identify this point and before you get to the red, stop. For example, leave the situation that irritates you, breathe deeply, do the mental calculation etc. When you see that the level of your emotions has dropped, you can return to the situation.

The development of appropriate social skills is essential for the management of behavioral disorders. We will work to improve your communication skills, empathy, self-control and conflict resolution. You will learn to recognize and express your emotions in a healthy way, as well as to establish and maintain positive relationships with others.

 

Behavioral disorders can have a significant impact on the whole family and the social circle of the person. It is therefore important to address family dynamics, set clear boundaries and promote effective communication and problem-solving strategies.

Remember that you control your body and mind. If necessary, you can change your behavior and thoughts. You will see that your emotional sphere and well-being will improve as well.
