Be Part of the Healing That Changes Everything
“In this visionary work, Dr. Ame Cutler confronts the failures of extractive, individualistic healing models and calls us—urgently—into a regenerative responsibility to one another and to the Earth. Grounded in Indigenous ways of knowing, somatic intelligence, and ancestral accountability, she offers a clear and actionable pathway from personal repair to collective renewal. At a moment of converging ecological, social, and spiritual crises, this book is not aspirational—it is necessary. A vital contribution to shaping a livable future for generations yet to come.”

Healing Reimagined, Hope Reclaimed, and Humanity Regenerated
Your trauma did not start and will not end with you. Despite this fact, our healing-obsessed Eurocentric society consistently misplaces its focus on the self, ignoring the cultural and historical land scape that is inherently tied to our individual and shared troubles. The only way to truly move forward is to abandon the comfort cult of individual recovery and shift toward a new method of collective transformation.
The Regeneration Process is that new and necessary mode of healing. Developed by Dr. Ame Cutler, this method calls us to recognize centuries of Indigenous wisdom, combining it with modern trauma theory to challenge our standard model of psychology, which often overlooks the interconnectedness of people, culture, and the natural world. Both conceptual and practical, this book will equip you with a clear method for breaking cycles of harm, tools for shifting from self-focus to collective responsibility, and a framework for acting as a regenerative agent in your own community and ecosystem.
For those willing to stop simply performing transformation and begin practicing true collective repair, this six-phase process will task you with restoring what has been lost, reclaiming what has been stolen, and regenerating what must now emerge.

MEET THE AUTHOR
Dr. Ame Cutler is a transdisciplinary trauma theorist, regenerative strategist, and spiritual practitioner who refuses to separate healing from history—or transformation from accountability. She is the creator of the Regeneration Process and founder of the Transgenerational Regeneration Institute, a community-based platform for dismantling inherited systems of harm and restoring Ancestral, ecological, and relational integrity.
With a PhD in Humanistic and Transpersonal Psychology, Dr. Cutler’s academic and practical work interrogates the cultural and psychological impacts of colonization, white supremacy, transgenerational trauma, and systemic oppression. Her scholarship is not theoretical—it’s embodied. Born into a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant lineage shaped by overwork, erasure, and inherited privilege, she has spent her life reclaiming what capitalism, Christianity, and settler logic tried to strip away: belonging, integrity, and Ancestral responsibility.
Dr. Cutler specializes in the legacies of harm passed through both survivors and perpetrators. Her work illuminates how the very systems that create trauma—imperialism, extraction, racial capitalism—also dictate the terms of what healing is “allowed” to look like. She challenges the hyper-individualized models of Eurocentric psychotherapy and the depoliticized spiritual bypassing of the wellness industry. Instead, she offers a path grounded in somatic integrity, Ancestral listening, ecological repair, and systemic dismantling.
