in my opinion therapy is not because there's a place needed for you to feel safe. It's about discovering yourself. and understanding. and maybe perhaps facing and changing some of your mechanisms that lead you to depression. After a few sessions you should feel safe too, because you know you can deeply trust your therapist. You will feel safe because you face your problems, not because you don't talk about them.
