do you feel safe when with the therapist or at the therapist's office?

When my therapist is taking me needs into account and doesn't cross my boundaries, I do feel safe and cozy with him. Not with the place though. I hate the place where he's been working for the last couple of years. Before this he worked in such a lovely office that I actually felt safe there even when the therapeutic relationship didn't feel very safe. I really miss that place!

yes, i feel safe in his office. there lots of times in the residential facility we were in that i would just go sit in there, even if he wasn't there. i needed that then. these days he is in a private practice so im only really there for appointments, etc. i would say most of the time i feel safe around T, but there have been times when difficult issues have come up... and i don't feel safe with him. but i usually let him know how im feeling and why.. and we talk about it. i recover from it within a few days.

I felt the safest, ever, when I was with my therapist.

She was the Mom that I never had.

I put it's okay. I don't get a warm fuzzy feeling when I go, and often am quite anxious. However I feel safe to discuss anything and feel emotionally safe and that I'm being heard.

It's always been okay in my therapists' offices, even if it was a not very good therapist.

Not at all -- it feels like I'm in a fencing match.......blindfolded and with one arm tied behind my back.
