I put that it would be nice if she would do it more.
I feel like instead of reassurance, validation is a better word for what I wish my therapists would do more of. It's not so much that I want them to tell me everything will be ok and work ok. That's annoys me because there is no way that they know what the future will bring. They don't know and they are making statements that they can't keep. That bothers me more than reassures me. What I do want more of is the therapist recognizing my concerns and anxieties and telling me that we will work through it and that it is possible for me to come out the other side. I don't know if that is still considered reassurance. Whatever it's called, that's what I want.
