I recently wrote a long email to my therapist disclosing some details that I have yet been able to tell her in person. I always freeze up in session when she asks me certain questions, and then I can't answer some of them. It's not that I don't trust her, it's just that it's information that I have never shared with anyone so it's really hard to talk about it.

She thanked me for my email and then asked me if I had imagined a safe place yet. Which is why I am posting here. It's so hard for me to come up with a safe place because life wasn't safe at all growing up.

How do you come up with a safe place? I don't even know what to imagine. I mean it's safe in my T's office but even then I still feel vulnerable at times.
