I see. I should probably read things better before I post....
It seems people here are pathologizing it too.
About what it is--Reassurance for me is just quelling a fear. Fear including anxiety fear. People here are assigning it different meanings, and that is mine. I noticed some therapists consider it 'stating what is already known'. That I do not like in particular.
