A quick definition of impulse:

Impulse is a sudden feeling that makes you want to do something without planning it. Sometimes, this feeling is so strong that you can't control it. In some places, if you do something wrong because of this feeling, you might not be punished for it. This is called the irresistible-impulse test. It means that if you have a mental illness that makes it hard for you to control your actions, you might not be responsible for what you did.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A sudden urge or inclination that leads to an unplanned action. It can be an uncontrollable impulse, which is an impulse so strong that it cannot be resisted. In some cases, an uncontrollable impulse can be used as a defense in criminal conduct.

Example: If someone suddenly feels the urge to buy something they don't need and can't afford, that's an impulse. If they can't resist the urge and end up buying it anyway, that's an uncontrollable impulse.

Explanation: The example illustrates how an impulse can lead to an unplanned action. In this case, the person had the sudden urge to buy something, which prompted them to take action. The uncontrollable impulse shows that the person was unable to resist the urge, which led to an action they may not have taken otherwise.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
