These kinds of exercises helped me very much. I made my home a safe place - but it was easy for me because I live alone. I would definitely suggest, however, that you try to create a room that is only yours and fill it with your favorite things. If it's a Christmas tree, put a Christmas tree in that room. Crafting, coloring, a bean bag, pretty pictures. You know, things that bring you comfort and peace.

In the therapist's office, I do like the blanket option. My therapist had a picture on the wall of a beautiful landscape. I would picture myself there.

I also found a place to volunteer where I felt very very safe. I went there every single weekend. It helped a lot. I got to be outside and do some pretty exhausting physical labor. THAT kind of stuff is fabulous for getting out of your head. It's much better than running on a treadmill!

Good luck. This is a hard part of the road you are on, but it doesn't have to be very very uncomfortable AND you aren't on it alone.
