- Source: [Why It's OK to Seek Reassurance](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/intimacy-path-toward-spirituality/201808/why-its-ok-seek-reassurance) - “I’m feeling a need for some reassurance (or support). Is this a good time… or when would be a good time to talk?” - “There’s something bugging me. Are you OK if I talk with you about it?” - I just need you to listen” - “I need a sounding board.” - Or, if you want a reality check, you might add, “If you have any thoughts, input, or perspectives on what I’m saying, please tell me.” - If you find yourself needing lots of support, there’s nothing wrong with that. But you may want to consider seeking a therapist about a stubborn or recurring issue.
