EMDR for executive dysfunction? Advice?
I tried executive function coaching a while back and it didn't help me at all. Maintaining a planner and itemizing large tasks only ever feels like creating more work for myself- it's more stress, not less, and accountability check-ins feel like being on trial, especially since I grew up with a parental figure who responded to me admitting I was struggling in a way I can only describe as "culturally Catholic". I recently realized the problem is that executive function coaching (or at least the program I tried) is centered around making you assimilate to the punchcard-spreadsheet hellscape we live in, regardless of the cost to your personal well-being, and that's not something that's going to help me until I find an approach that's centered around healing. I've been reading about the potential of EMDR to help with executive functioning, and wanted to know if anyone had any firsthand experience to share, or any other guidance to provide, including around the financial aspect. I see an LCSW for regular therapy, and am planning on bringing this up to them in my next session, and potentially my primary care doctor as well since I'm seeing them soon for my annual visit anyway. I've also been reading about IFS, and would appreciate any comment on that as well.
