Propelled by the feeling of Bored, Indifferent
We detach when we render difficult experiences inaccessible, fragmenting reality to achieve a state of protective indifference.
"I am unbearable, therefore I must sever my own continuity to create a safe, empty distance.". Similar to a babe “zoning out” when frightened, detaching creates a temporary, protective break in the continuity of the self. This proactive skill allows one to detach when a conversation becomes overwhelmingly upsetting, in order to achieve a state of emotional numbing. Over time one can arrive at states of intense congruence with one’s numbness. This can lead to feelings of disconnection from one's own identity and a trouble in establishing emotional presence and healthy interpersonal bonds.
Awake, Attuned
As adults we Detach as a means to experience ourselves to be internally Awake, Attuned

There is a consensus reality - where we perceive that which is agreed upon as reliable. In this shared reality, we generally see four “acceptable” combinations of defense mechanisms operating. Developed in early childhood, they continue to operate as a basic temperamental style throughout adulthood. Here we see Detaching as it combines with its four common partners.

Dark wave energies are experienced outside the accepted norms of reality, usually occurring in the form of a persistent Doppelganger, a nemesis to our accepted sense of selfhood.
As our attachment to the rotating Defense Structures within us dissolves, attention turns to disembodied dark waves that we find alive in our environment. There are 18 available to the witnessing eye. As we gain a more direct relationship to these Dark Wave entities, we place ourselves at the Gates of Dawn.
