Executive Dysfunction

Are you struggling with the effects of executive dysfunction?

Right now, as a result of executive dysfunction, you may be experiencing:

 

  • Difficulty initiating tasks despite knowing they need to be done and having the skills to complete them
  • Challenges with planning and organizing multi-step projects, leading to procrastination or incomplete work
  • Problems managing time effectively, consistently underestimating how long tasks will take
  • Struggles with working memory that make it hard to hold information in mind while performing related tasks
  • Difficulty shifting between activities or adapting when plans need to change unexpectedly
  • Challenges with self-monitoring that make it hard to recognize errors or assess your own performance accurately
  • Frustration when your capabilities in some areas contrast sharply with struggles in executive function domains

Your emotional dysregulation may be getting in the way of your life in these ways:

  • Your professional performance is affected by missed deadlines, disorganization, or difficulty following through on projects
  • Your home environment may be cluttered or disorganized despite your best intentions to maintain order
  • Your financial management suffers from forgotten bills, impulsive purchases, or difficulty tracking expenses
  • Your relationships are strained when others misinterpret your struggles as laziness or lack of care
  • Your self-esteem is damaged by repeated experiences of not meeting your own expectations or others’ standards

You’re wondering…

  • Why do I struggle so much with tasks that seem effortless for others?
  • Is there something fundamentally different about how my brain works compared to others?
  • How can I build systems that compensate for my executive function challenges?
  • What’s the difference between executive dysfunction and simply being disorganized or unmotivated?
  • Will I always feel like I’m working twice as hard as others just to accomplish basic tasks?

You’re longing for…

  • Effective strategies that help you initiate, organize, and complete tasks without overwhelming stress.
  • Understanding from others about the nature of your struggles rather than judgment or criticism.
  • A sense of accomplishment and confidence in your ability to manage daily responsibilities.
  • Systems and environments that work with your brain rather than against it.
  • Freedom from the shame and self-criticism that often accompany executive function challenges.

How we can help you.

At Evergreen Counseling, we understand that executive dysfunction involves neurobiological differences in how your brain manages planning, organization, initiation, and completion of tasks. Our therapists create a non-judgmental environment where we can identify your specific executive function challenges and develop personalized strategies to address them.
