si vous étiez à ma place


Explanation:
irat56 a raison. Simplement, la version originale peut signifier implicitement "si vous étiez à ma place". Si c'est un titre, ou si votre expression est seule, je mettrais l'expression entière que je vous propose. S'il y a une phrase entière, il vaut mieux mettre simplement "à ma place", comme la proposition précédente.
