compartmentalises
Keeps things separate
Compartmentalises is the British spelling of compartmentalizes—to divide into separate sections or categories.
The word often describes keeping different areas of life strictly separated: She compartmentalises work and family so completely that colleagues don't know she has children.
It can also mean isolating thoughts or emotions to cope: He compartmentalised the trauma and carried on.
