Responding to Reassurance Seeking (Information for Carers)
Overview
This CBT-based handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions explains the concept of reassurance-seeking and its potential to become unhelpful when it creates a vicious cycle of anxiety. It is designed for carers, outlining signs that the behavior has become problematic and offering guidance on how to respond differently through open communication and mutual agreement. The resource aims to help caregivers support loved ones in breaking these patterns while managing their own feelings of frustration.
