Protecting the personality of the protagonist

The key to protecting the protagonist's personality lies in establishing a stable self-awareness and a healthy psychological defense mechanism. As the core identity of an individual, the protagonist may develop a tendency towards dissociation due to long-term stress, traumatic events, or interpersonal conflicts. This can be maintained through augmented reality training, emotional diary recording, social support system construction, professional psychological counseling, mindfulness meditation practice, and other methods. When experiencing persistent identity confusion or memory gaps, it is recommended to seek a systematic assessment from a psychiatrist or psychotherapist.

1. Augmented Reality Training

uses the five sense anchoring method to help strengthen the main personality's real-life experience, such as touching specific textured objects, smelling familiar odors, repeating personal basic information, and other embodied exercises. This type of method can activate the cognitive control function of the prefrontal cortex of the brain, reducing the probability of dissociation reactions. Conducting directional training three times a day, each lasting several minutes, can help consolidate the continuity of one's identity.

2. Emotional diary recording

uses structured logs to record daily emotional fluctuations and corresponding events, establishing the protagonist's ability to monitor their own psychological state. Highlighting emotional triggers and coping strategies, this metacognitive training can enhance the integration between the limbic system and the cerebral cortex. It is recommended to use timestamp marking method to avoid recording gaps caused by memory gaps.

3. Construction of Social Support System

Cultivate stable interpersonal relationships among at least three different social circles, including intimate partners, members of interest communities, and professional support personnel. Diversified social mirror feedback can provide identity verification references for the protagonist, reducing the risk of personality fragmentation caused by isolation. Regularly engage in deep social interactions to maintain relationship quality rather than quantity.

4. Professional psychological counseling

For individuals with obvious dissociation symptoms, it is recommended to use trauma focused cognitive-behavioral therapy or eye movement desensitization reprocessing therapy. These evidence-based methods can help individuals integrate traumatic memories and repair damaged self coherence. During the treatment process, it is necessary to monitor the changes in the scores of the dissociative experience scale to avoid therapeutic dissociation.

5. Mindfulness meditation practice

Daily body scan meditation and breath anchoring exercises are conducted to enhance the protagonist's awareness of the current state of mind and body. Neuroscience research shows that eight weeks of mindfulness training can thicken the prefrontal cortex and improve the functional connectivity of the brain's default mode network, which has a physiological protective effect on maintaining personality stability. Maintaining a regular sleep schedule and balanced diet is crucial for the stability of the nervous system, and supplementing foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids and B vitamins in moderation can help maintain neurotransmitter balance. It is recommended to engage in moderate intensity aerobic exercise several times a week, as the brain-derived neurotrophic factors produced by exercise can promote hippocampal neurogenesis. Avoiding the use of psychoactive substances such as alcohol and establishing a stable sleep wake cycle, these basic physiological maintenance measures can provide necessary biological support for psychological intervention. When there is persistent identity confusion or loss of time, it is necessary to promptly go to a professional medical institution for screening for dissociative disorders.
