Impressions and desires are bound together by their dependence upon cause and effect. In the absence of the latter, the former too ceases to function.

Our subconscious tendencies depend upon cause and effect. They have their basis in the mind, and they are stimulated by the sense-objects. If all these are removed, the tendencies are destroyed.
Source: English translation from The Heart of Yoga (T.K.V. Desikachar)
These tendencies are both maintained and sustained by misapprehensions, external stimuli, attachment to the fruits of actions, and the quality of mind that promotes hyperactivity. Reduction of these automatically makes the undesirable impressions ineffective.

hetu phala ashraya alambana samgrihitatvat esam abhave tad abhavah
