My T did ask me what safe meant, some time last year, and I also could only tell him what it wasn't.

I agree with you. I've not thought about it that way.
To define safety as being the absence of things that are harmful or hurtful does not really define a "feeling" of safety. It seems to define a place or situation where safety can be felt/experienced.
So, I agree with you also that the definition is not really a definition of what safe IS.
The analytical part of me is intrigued.
