Victim reassurance refers to the act of providing comfort, support, and assurance to a person who has experienced harm, trauma, or victimization. This can involve empathetic listening, providing validation for their feelings, and helping them to regain a sense of safety, trust, and control. The purpose of victim reassurance is to alleviate distress, reduce anxiety, and restore a sense of well-being to the individual who has been victimized. It is often provided by professionals such as counselors, therapists, or victim advocates.
