My only personal experience with &quot;safe places&quot; is in &quot;safe place imagery&quot; which is a very cool visualization technique used for relaxation, meditation, and even in therapy along with amazing tricks like EMDR for helping to manage or eliminate triggers and &quot;zero out&quot; extremely stressful memories.<p>Quite as it should be, the best &quot;safe place&quot; is the one we create for ourselves in our mind. I never imagined students would demand a real-world physical equivalent that somehow everyone else in the room is supposed to comply with.
