Research

Restorative practices help individuals heal by engaging brain regions linked to danger and perceived threats. For practitioners, understanding a participant's history is crucial for effective healing. Emotional and cognitive blocks are key areas where meaningful progress occurs. Recalling traumatic events can be painful yet transformative, especially when tied to personal narratives. Right-Brain Restorative Practices focus on self-centered approaches rooted in social-emotional learning, humanistic psychology, and regulation theory. These practices guide individuals in developing the capacity to process remorse, gain insight, and foster empathy, accountability, and restoration.
