Compulsive reassurance seeking can be a challenging issue for both clients and therapists to manage. Clients are often highly adept—sometimes knowingly, sometimes unknowingly—at eliciting excessive reassurance from therapists and family members. At the same time, resisting the urge to seek reassurance can feel nearly impossible for clients. In this episode, Amanda Petrik-Gardner, LCPC, joins us to discuss core themes from her new book, "The Compulsive Reassurance Workbook". Our conversation covers:
- What compulsive reassurance seeking is and its significance across various mental health presentations.
- Differentiating between normal reassurance seeking and compulsive reassurance seeking.
- Common triggers that lead to compulsive reassurance seeking.
- The importance of distress tolerance in managing reassurance-seeking behaviors.
- Mental health disorders that are more susceptible to compulsive reassurance-seeking behaviors.
- he cycle of reassurance seeking and how it perpetuates anxiety.
- Avoiding the use of clinical interventions (e.g., a thought record) as a safety behavior.
- Key components of the reassurance-seeking cycle.
- Effective metaphors for psychoeducation.
- Guidance for family members on navigating this specific challenge.
- Treating compulsive reassurance seeking in complex situations (e.g., trauma, pandemics, checking the accuracy of completed tasks).
- The role of “extinction bursts” in exposure-based work.
- Relapse prevention and normalizing setbacks.
- Understanding when to approach versus step back from a feared stimulus.
- Managing dysfunctional beliefs about worry.
