Yes, I find reassurance helpful. I am working hard to not use it as a primary coping skill, though. But, we all need other people; we all need reassurance sometimes.

I tend to look for reassurance from my therapist when my fear is specifically related to something about them: e.g., wanting reassurance that something I shared did not make them think I was a bad person or disgusting; wanting reassurance that my therapist is still there.
