If you could convince the mind it's "rebirth", rather than "death", maybe that can remove the resistance, at least in part.
Whenever I've heard you talk about the mind viewing these subs's changes as "death", I'm reminded of something. I believe it was from (not going to mention who to not violate rules) someone's product I still have to this day. Anyway, the story is, when boys in a town reach a certain age, usually just on the verge of adolescence, a South American indian tribe would dress up in masks etc., leave their town, and come back. They would scream to the town "the boys must die!", the women, their mothers and relatives would act the part and cry and plead for them, the boys would be taken away by the men. And they would have to go through rites of passage, usually fighting dangerous game and skinning them to provide for the tribe etc. Afterwards, they would be considered "men".
So, as I said, it's a "rebirth" scenario, understood by even cultures as that, cultures that predate us by a large margin. So, this issue in the mind must be something ingrained and "real", so they have figured out their own workaround. Maybe some of it can be useful...
