Delta Recovery Relapse Prevention

Cognitive Impairment

Mental fog blocks Fours’ access to their inner emotional world and creative expression. Cognitive difficulties feel like disconnection from their authentic self.

Memory Problems

Memory issues interfere with Fours’ ability to maintain connection to their emotional experiences. They view memory problems as threats to their emotional authenticity.

Emotional Dysregulation

Emotional extremes feel both overwhelming and more authentic than emotional numbness. While difficult, emotional volatility may feel more authentic than the emotional numbing often experienced in early recovery.

Sleep Disturbances

Sleep problems create a complex relationship between fatigue and emotional access.  Sleep issues may provide time for emotional processing but interfere with creative expression.

Motor Coordination Issues

Coordination problems disconnect Fours from their body and physical self-expression.  Physical symptoms interfere with their embodied sense of authenticity.

Stress Sensitivity

Emotional sensitivity feels both authentic and overwhelming. Stress sensitivity creates ambivalence – it feels true to their nature but difficult to handle.
