Restorative Anchor

undefined:

A restorative anchor is a role for headmates who help other headmates with their recent or immediate trauma by stabilizing them. They focus on maintaining the traumatized headmate, functioning as a guide, and being a helpful reference point on what to do and how to heal. Restorative anchors will also work with headmates to restore their sense of worth and safety after traumatic events.

Restorative anchors are often split from the traumatized headmate, and exist temporarily to help assist the headmate in processing their trauma, before fusing back into one.
