Executive dysfunction happens when the brain struggles with planning, starting, organising, or completing tasks, even when you want to do them. It’s not laziness or lack of effort; it’s a difficulty with the mental skills that help us take action.
Many people experience executive dysfunction alongside anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, or burnout. Tasks can feel overwhelming, unclear, or impossible to begin, which often leads to frustration or self-criticism.
CBT can help identify the thinking patterns and behavioural cycles that keep you feeling stuck, while building practical strategies to support focus, organisation, and follow-through. If executive difficulties are affecting daily life, Think CBT is here to help.
