I love your safe place, littleone. And I like the idea of a safe box, Tamar.
I want that teleporting tube ASAP.
I've been able to establish my first ever safe place over the past 9 months. The house itself is a haven - I even have a library -- but my safe place is my room. It is just mine, and I've been able to decorate it exactly like I want. I have flowered chairs that sit in the corner and a thick bed-spread embroidered with roses. I have my favorite books on the shelves by the bed and a vase full of Daisies. It is frilly and girlie and off of my room is a deck and the garden. It is a nice place to rest and heal. I have an old fashion nightlight too, which makes waking from the nightmares not quite so bad.
It isn't perfect yet, but nothing bad has ever happened in my room. I tell my therapist often I wish he could see it. It reveals a side of me that would surprise him.
