I call these Zoom dates. The trick to this is to see your reflection as another person. This feels not just helpful—it feels literally true. In those moments of dissociation, looking at myself leads to some kind of dramatic self-synchronisation. https://t.co/8Gt1zICc6S

@ExGenesis @magicianbrain How I dialed it down: I kept trying to go cold-turkey, but what I missed is that I genuinely enjoyed watching the videos. So instead of humour/infotainment, I started seeking . . . calmer videos. I’d watch videos of people from the 60s. Psychologist interviews.
The comparison to leaving a TV on all day makes it quite clear. https://t.co/CFs9fjTLxM
