You’re Stefan Salvatore - Suck it up | TVD Edits

In this scene, Caroline Forbes places Stefan Salvatore inside the very same safe he was trapped and repeatedly drowned in, as an unorthodox form of immersion therapy to help him overcome his severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Katherine Pierce soon joins Stefan inside the cramped safe to push him past his panic. She confronts him, suggesting that his fixation on the safe-related trauma is actually a way to mask his deeper emotional pain over Elena Gilbert choosing Damon Salvatore instead of him. As the tension rises, Stefan struggles with his triggers and threatens her, but Katherine stands her ground to help him ground himself and face his emotions. This intense confinement and heart-to-heart eventually lead to them growing closer, sharing a moment, and sleeping together.
