Default Safe Place??

I hate to say it but the thought of "safe space" makes me gag. It is uncomfortable and I think just my having my therapist talking to me about my safe space makes it unsafe for me.. Does that make any sense at all?? I am uncomfortable as soon as the subject comes up I get scared and want to dissociate and escape the whole thing.. It is as if no where is safe for all my inner kids.. I have dissociative disorder nos.. I know what the ego states are doing but don't always understand..I can control them most of the time, (meaning I can keep them from coming out in public), other times I have no control. I remember what they did and what they said but it gets foggy sometimes. How can I handle "safe space"?? Any ideas?? I know I am not ready for EMDR at this point.

thanks for your help
