Embracer

undefined: An embracer is a sysmate that feels positive emotions - such as joy, excitement, relaxation, or euphoria - during experiences that have historically been traumatic or harmful to their system, but are no longer harmful. They genuinely enjoy the experiences, and front to prevent other sysmates from feeling distressed. They will likely be disconnected from the system's past trauma involving these situations. The purpose of this role is to calm the system during stressful events, and to help the system learn that these situations do not need to be feared anymore.

An example of an embracer may be a sysmate finding innocent excitement and joy in watching a thunderstorm, when the system historically associates thunderstorms with abuse.

The word can serve as a basis for creating more specific terms by applying adjectives to it. Some examples of these combinations are terms such as an autumn embracer, storm embracer, water embracer, etc.
