Delta Recovery Relapse Prevention

Cognitive Impairment

Cognitive difficulties interfere with Twos’ ability to anticipate and meet others’ needs effectively. Mental fog prevents them from being the intuitive caregiver they pride themselves on being.

Memory Problems

Memory issues make Twos feel like they’re failing in their caretaking responsibilities. They interpret memory problems as evidence they’re becoming selfish and neglectful of others.

Emotional Dysregulation

Emotional volatility threatens Twos’ image as stable caregivers and may push people away. They fear that emotional instability will make them burdens rather than helpers.

Sleep Disturbances

Sleep problems drain the energy Twos need to care for others effectively.  Fatigue from sleep issues makes them feel like they’re failing their primary role as helpers.

Motor Coordination Issues

Coordination problems limit Twos’ ability to provide practical help to others.  Physical limitations reverse their role from helper to someone who needs help.

Stress Sensitivity

Stress sensitivity reduces Twos’ emotional availability to support others.  Increased stress reactivity forces them to focus on their own needs, which feels selfish.
