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 🧘

idk, detachment/dissociation doesn't feel like Severance to me, because you still remember what happened, even if it doesn't have that tacit sensation what feels more like Severance to me is autopilot/hypnosis, where often you ~don't remember anything at all
