I don't understand what you mean. My therapist tells me I need to reassure myself (my compulsion is to seek reassurance from others). I didn't reach out to others for reassurance, and instead I reassured myself. What's the harm in that? How else are you supposed to stay calm in the face of anxiety due to obsessive thoughts?
