The facilitated exclusion process is a toy model for phase separation, where particles can jump to an empty neighboring site iff their other neighboring site is occupied. Because of this kinetic constraint, at low densities $\rho\leq 1/2$, the FEP ultimately reaches a frozen state where particles are all surrounded by empty sites, whereas at large densities $\rho>1/2$, the FEP reaches an ergodic component where it can be mapped to the classical SSEP. In this talk, I will present a new mapping of the FEP to a process that we call SSEP with traps, that displays the same frozen/ergodic phases. I will then focus on the estimation on the transience time needed to reach either an ergodic or frozen state for this model started from the "worst" possible state, which undergoes a cutoff as the size of the system diverges. I will then explore the consequences of this transience time cutoff on the mixing time on the FEP, and on the mixing time of both processes.
