The Need for Reassurance in Relationships: Is It Healthy or Unhealthy?
In intimate relationships, seeking reassurance—from a partner’s feelings and commitment to one’s worthiness of love—is a common experience. At times, a gentle “I’m here for you” or “I love you” can soothe anxieties and deepen trust. Yet, when reassurance becomes a constant necessity, it can strain the bond and erode individual confidence. Understanding when reassurance seeking is adaptive versus when it turns maladaptive can help partners cultivate secure, balanced connections.
In this episode we discuss whether the need for reassurance from our partner is healthy or unhealthy, having insecurities, cultivating conscious relationships, and recognizing our patterns.
