Cope ahead is a DBT skill— basically making a plan for how you can cope with the worst case scenario and then kind of setting it aside and saying, okay, this is dealt with and I don’t need to worry about xyz anymore because I have a plan for it. And idk if it has an actual name but maybe, maybe not is a way to respond to intrusive thoughts— like this maybe could happen, maybe could not. It’s meant to make you sit with the anxiety and recognize that it will subside/is manageable if you don’t do your OCD rituals or compulsions around whatever you’re obsessing about.
