Ameliorator

undefined:

An ameliorator is a headmate who provides support to other headmates during moments of extreme distress by talking to them. These moments may include flashbacks, panic or anxiety attacks, PTSD episodes, and other intense periods of panic.

To alleviate the suffering of other headmates, ameliorators use a variety of supportive communication techniques, such as offering soothing words, emotional validation, and general reassurance. They may use various verbal grounding techniques to help bring the headmate back to the present moment and away from distressing memories or thoughts.
