Word Spy - self-talk

I visited my therapist the other day and came and left with a feeling that there was and is something bothering me but just below the surface of my mind; I can't figure out what it is. My therapist recommended, among other ideas and questions, boning up on my self-talk, specifically repeating the phrase "I am safe" to myself.

Today I walked to work and repeated that phrase to myself over and over. Oddly enough I didn't feel any better, only worse and after about the tenth or twentieth repetition, something in my head responded "Safety isn't the issue."

To which I now wonder, what is?
