Chocolate chip or snicker-doodle please!

Kinda...?

You told me last month vanderwheel can mess with our heads and then I remembered Occulmency. It's a type of magic to block out people reading your mind and messing with your memories... i think.

To perform Occlumency, a person has to rid their mind of all thoughts and emotions (blank and calm). With a quiet mind, a person could then repel the Legilimency attack (the opposite of Occlumency) by disarming, shielding or hexing their opponent.
Apparently my other self was an accomplished Occulmense, he had enough self-control to withstand Legilimency attacks without the need for disarming or hexes. He could compartmentalize his feelings and shut down his minds at a moment’s notice. He also had to deny "essential parts of himself." (at least... that's how it came to me? Not sure exactly what that last part means...)
