Restore
Your ability to return to a previous version of yourself — recovering lessons, habits, or strengths you once had.
Michael Mason and Forgiving His Father
Restore activated for Michael Mason when he chose to return to seeing his father through the lens of gratitude rather than resentment. He restored focus to the positive lessons his father had taught him - work ethic, survival skills, toughness - rather than staying stuck on the trauma. This wasn't denial of the abuse, but a conscious choice to recover the valuable parts of their relationship that hatred had buried.
