Hmmm. I know that even when I am in an uncomfortable conversation with my T I still feel safe in there, but I wouldn't if I was alone. For me, it is her presence in the room that makes me feel safe. The only other place where I truly feel safe is sitting on my bed, because that is the only place where I really allow myself to cry or experience my emotions freely for the most part. When I am most other places, I feel very exposed, even in my apartment. For me, it is either the person or the space where I can experience my emotions that I feel safe...maybe when you feel comfortable with yourself then that feeling of safety with your emotions will come from within and you won't have to depend on the person or the location to help you.
