It was more helpful than I expected it to be. T introduced it combined with guided muscle relaxation and a bit of guided meditation so that now when I think of the safe place I also sort of reexperiemce that calmness.

I did not visualize a real safe space— it doesn’t exist for me. I like that mine is imaginary. It feels safer, like only I can get there because only I know it exists. That may sound hokey.
