Do you routinely cut yourself off from feeling? Do you bristle at the act of having to perform a “work-friendly” version of yourself? There are many ways we compartmentalise ourselves and our emotions.
Coming up, we explore:

The themes of Severance, and what they mean for authenticity and emotional truth
Taking a break from the “performance of identity”
Emotional pain avoidance and why its not a workable strategy
And the healing power of feeling in concert with others
