A good way to think about safety is to recognize when you feel afraid. Feelings are there to give us information about ourselves and help us make decisions and inform our actions; they are not actions themselves. Feeling afraid is not good or bad but how we respond to our fear can be good or bad.
I would practice telling your T when you feel afraid while you are with her and what you are afraid of. That will help you and her know how safe you are. Discussing fear is a great action because often we can learn that what we fear is not likely to happen or we can do things so what we fear will happen will not.
Your T has told you she is afraid you may not be able to keep yourself safe. I would discuss with her how you can work to learn how to keep yourself safe so both you and she do not have to fear for you.
