hold my hand
Clasp my palm
Hold my hand is a request for guidance or reassurance through something unfamiliar or difficult.
Literally, it asks someone to grasp your hand for comfort or connection.
Figuratively, it asks for step-by-step help: I need someone to hold my hand through the tax filing process.
The implication is often slight dependence—someone who needs their hand held can't manage alone.
