No, it's not wrong to want the reassurance, but there is NO guarantee you will ever, ever get it, and if you aren't going to get it, you'll have to accept it or go somewhere else.

My T hands it out in spades, which is lovely, but my psychiatrist refuses to 99.9% of the time. He always turns it back on me and into something negative, rather than something that is positive and nurturing. I've given up trying to understand why anymore.

But there is NEVER anything wrong with wanting the reassurance. Learning to get it from ourselves is possible, I know this, but having the behavior modeled makes it whole lot easier rather than making it some obstacle for patients to overcome.

sorry, I digress.. and vent.
good luck,
antigua
