“So what?”

A fantastic phrase to use. I’ve heard it’s used in some forms of OCD treatment!

Basically, in the face of your feared “what if?”, you say: “So what?”

And then if your mind comes up with another feared scenario right after, you can simply do it again:

“So what?”

Perhaps you’ll have a whole chain of fears, like a winding staircase. Each fear can be met with “so what?”

Eventually you may arrive at the bottom of the staircase, where you may find the dreaded Root Fear

And to that, perhaps you can once again proclaim:

“So what?”

😊🤘🏻
