These places are especially helpful for those who are nervous about walking outside because they can provide reassurance to those around them. [substeps] For example, maybe you know that there is a safe place near your car that lets you know when you need to go outside. You can use a list of things you like about the place to help you come up with ideas. [substeps] Take some time to brainstorm suggestions.
