Re: Executive dysfunction - April 30th 2021, 10:18 PM
I personally don't struggle with this but my boyfriend has ADHD and it's common for those with ADHD to struggle with executive dysfunction.

The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris is a great book to introduce ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) principles into your life. It's aimed at depression/anxiety but ACT is also effective for ADHD and executive dysfunction. I gifted this to my boyfriend last year, he's not typically a reader but he blew through it in no time and said that it helped make sense of a lot of the feelings he had about a lot of his struggles, especially with executive dysfunction, and the resulting self-loathing.
