🌱 The Regenerative Turn — From Mechanical Care to the Care of Living Systems
Healthcare was built on the logic of machines: diagnose the fault, repair the part, restore function. But living systems don’t heal the way machines do. They adapt, reorganize, and respond to meaning, safety, and context. This reflection explores the regenerative turn in pain care—away from fixing parts and toward supporting living systems, where healing emerges through trust, agency, and relationship.
