Oh my gosh yes. I literally tell myself over a dozen times a week things that my therapist has said about all different topics. I desperately need his reassurance. I trust him and know he means what he says. Thank goodness he doesn't have an issue with this. He says that over time week change the locus of control from outwards (relying on what he says) to inwards (I provide my own stability and reassurance). From stories here, it sounds like most therapists are like my previous therapists who didn't want me too reliant and so didn't provide reassurance or approval. Their mindset was destructive to me and kept a chasm in our relationship because I couldn't totally trust them without hearing that they were on my side, that they believed in me, that everything would be ok.
