emotional comfort
Feeling safely held
Emotional comfort is the feeling of being soothed, reassured, or at ease during distress.
It often comes from another person's presence, words, or touch: She found emotional comfort in her sister's embrace.
The phrase distinguishes psychological solace from physical comfort—a warm blanket provides one, a listening friend provides the other.
