"Safe Places" - Whats Yours?

[Deleted member 487]

My safe place is my home. But as we know, anyone can force their way into my home and I can't do anything about it or go to prison. :(
So much for being safe. :(

I had a very difficult session yesterday with my psychiatrist. And last night I dreamt about my "safe place". I was back in the closet, warm and snug. And I stayed there and didn't come out. I then woke up with a severe headache and back ache.

Is "dreaming" about your safe place something that happens to others?

My safe place has always been to put on music (headphones) and go to a whole other place....I kinda just become someone other.....

It helps ....

Well like alot of you, trees are my favorite, but I don't get to climb as much as I used to. My favorite was anyone I could sleep in while the shit was hitting the fan. Usually I would have a friend, a v. nam vet nearby on a close branch.
Next would be the attic and of course the soothing qualities the water gives.

My safe place has always been inside my head. I still go there, and shut down almost all outside communications with everyone, when I'm having a hard time.

As a child my safe place was in the bathtub. I figured the bullets couldn't get me in there. (yeah too much violence as a kid) I would still hide and sleep in the bathtub even into my early twenties. Now I work hard to make my entire home a safe place. I also use the image of a wolf as my safe "image" to help calm myself.

I think safe places are supposed to be in your head. That way they are always safe and not open to change unless you want to change it. Its a place to imagine. It can be a real place you've been to but its a special place that you create that has everything you like in it that makes you comfortable. That way its always a good place to go to in your head when things are bad.

I have a hard time imagining a safe place. I usually imagine a flame that consumes my fear while trying to meditate.
