Decathexis, in its simplest definition, is the feeling of letting go. The recognition that, for instance, the car is going to make impact with your body, and no, you are not wearing a helmet, and you will die. Your clothes will be cut off in the emergency room. You will be thought dead. Photos will be taken. It will be treated like a crime scene.
