The second element which needs to be considered in a stress cycle is called an "Expulsion Inhibitor" (figure 5).

A double bind blocks a cycle from completion before expulsion, where as an expulsion inhibitor blocks a cycle from completion after expulsion. Expulsion inhibitors are factors which:

• Prevent complete resolution of a cycle.
• And/ or create a Complex cycle.

When the resolution of the stress cycle back to a peaceful state is interrupted by an expulsion inhibitor, it may or may not create a complex cycle (figure 6).
