Delta Recovery Relapse Prevention
Type Five – The Investigator
Cognitive Impairment
Mental cloudiness threatens Fives’ primary asset and coping mechanism – their intellect. Cognitive difficulties feel like losing their core competency and protection.
Memory Problems
Memory issues undermine Fives’ ability to accumulate and retain knowledge. Memory problems threaten their sense of competence and self-sufficiency.
Emotional Dysregulation
Emotional extremes exhaust Fives’ limited emotional energy and interfere with thinking. Emotional volatility depletes their carefully conserved energy reserves.
Sleep Disturbances
Sleep problems affect mental clarity and energy needed for intellectual functioning. Â Poor sleep diminishes their cognitive resources and ability to withdraw productively.
Motor Coordination Issues
Physical coordination problems highlight Fives’ dependence on their body. Coordination issues force awareness of bodily vulnerability they prefer to minimize.
Stress Sensitivity
Stress sensitivity forces increased withdrawal to protect limited energy reserves. Increased stress reactivity requires even more energy conservation and isolation.
