I need to lock my door to feel safe at night
Why do you lock the door?
I feel scared wandering the house alone.
It is okay to want to feel safe at home. Locking the door is a great way to make yourself feel safer.
The thing is I don't lock my door because I really feel scared, it's because I need to feel protected.
It's okay if you want to feel protection and safety in your own home. Maybe you can talk to someone about your need to feel protection and where it comes from?
