I didn’t start severance season 2 yet and this cast isn’t about the show (so no spoilers!), but more so the concept. I would never sever different parts of my consciousness but innies and outies got me thinking about eastern philosophies and the general concept of detachment (which comes up a lot in Buddhism) Over the years and through various practices (including childbirth and yoga) I’ve learned how to separate mental pain from physical pain. Something like labor can be brutally painful, but you can train your mind to detach. The physical sensation remains, but the suffering does not. The pain is still there but it doesn’t hurt in the same way. Once you learn detachment you can draw on it during challenging times to reduce suffering. It’s like severance except it’s temporary and you’re in control. Might sound woo woo, and I’m not saying it necessarily comes easily, but it’s a really good life skill to practice. Namaste 🧘

What about (mostly) non physical pain like heartbreak, are you able to detach from that too?

Ooohh when did you change your name? I recognize the pfp thankfully Are you asking me personally if I have the ability to detach from mental pain, or whether it’s possible? Short answer is I can detach but most mental pain isn’t as temporary as physical pain so it’s harder For things like heartache ultimately the only release is acceptance, and that can take a long time to get to 💔
