Role Rebound

undefined:

The process of carrying out their role may affect a headmate's ability to fulfil their role or the underlying purpose. This may come with a time delay, limiting the amount of time a headmate may carry out their role. This rebound may be related to the role itself, an independent condition of the headmate, or even Intra-System Relationships. Role rebound can be extremely frustrating for the affected headmate and the whole system.

Examples
A physical protector may cause the body to go on high alert while fronting, causing physical exhaustion after a time and therefore making the body less able to react to physical threats.

A Shock Absorber may have an independant condition that causes them to experience more pain or fatigue while fronting.

A soother may be in conflict with another headmate and agitate them further by fronting or co-fronting.

Related Terms
Role rebound can cause both positive and negative Front Feedback if the headmate's role has to do with fronting. Rebound may cause the affected headmate to be unable to hold on to front, or may keep them in front when the related front trigger is magnified.
