Is there a name for when a dissociated part focuses heavily on limiting one’s plans and goals to such an extent that severe executive functioning impairment develops? I'm not aware of a specific term that describes dissociative parts that limit plans and goals to the extent of severe executive functioning impairment. However, this can be a symptom of dissociative identity disorder (DID) or other dissociative disorders where different parts or identities may have conflicting goals and plans. In DID, different dissociated parts may hold different beliefs, values, and goals, which can cause conflicts and hinder the individual's ability to function. This can include executive functioning impairments, such as difficulty planning, organizing, initiating tasks, and following through with plans. These symptoms can be challenging to manage, and a skilled therapist who specializes in dissociative disorders can help identify and address the underlying causes of executive functioning impairments and work towards building skills to improve executive functioning.
