The coming posts end the summary of defense mechanisms by going through the mature defense mechanisms that are healthy to use as coping mechanisms when being overwhelmed by feelings and thoughts.

Anticipation can involve rehearsing possible outcomes in one’s mind. This also makes it possible to develop plans to manage all the scenarios:

-worst possible scenario – daring to think through and consider the worst possible outcome, including telling oneself that it will not be as bad as one imagined.
