ADHD for therapists
ADHD therapists stuck between intense client care and a wall of unwritten notes..
What's actually hard
- •Staring at weeks of unwritten session notes while your brain resists turning rich emotional conversations into dry clinical summaries.
- •The heavy dread of referral letters, client intake admin, and invoicing piling up behind back-to-back therapy sessions.
- •Feeling intense shame for guiding clients through executive dysfunction while secretly drowning in your own practice management.
How Spark fits into your day
- Open the Post-Session Note template to dictate three key clinical bullet points before your next client arrives.
- Run a 2-minute Invoicing Micro-Sprint to process a single client statement before executive fatigue sets in.
- Launch a Referral Draft starter to generate the opening paragraph of a clinical summary without facing a blank page.

Executive dysfunction is the umbrella: an ongoing difficulty with planning, starting, sequencing and finishing. ADHD paralysis is one acute episode inside it — the moment you're stuck and cannot move at all. Executive dysfunction is the condition; paralysis is the symptom flaring up.
Laziness is not wanting to do it and feeling fine about that. Executive dysfunction is wanting to do it, planning to do it, feeling terrible about not doing it — and still not moving. The distress is the tell: laziness is comfortable, executive dysfunction is not.
