The recomposition phase. In contrast with the decomposition phenomenon witnessed at baseline, a positive cycle is now emerging and features prominently in participants’ everyday lives. In fact, the balance has tipped drastically towards recomposition, according to interview data, with a 6.3%:93.7% decomposition:recomposition ratio in comparison to the 98%:2% seen at baseline. The spirals are different sizes to more easily illustrate this. The ICF domains (represented by the coloured circles) are sized comparably smaller, with the baseline representing less intrusiveness. They can actually be seen almost emerging from the spiral altogether. Furthermore, the horizontally cycling purple arrows have favourably switched, with a much lower propensity for an individual to return to the negative decomposition spiral, especially after a ‘knock-back’.
