she should be telling her therapist about the fantasies but you can help her by not giving her the sense that she is crazy and damaged goods .....listen ,don't judge ,don't roll your eyes or laugh ..be there as a set of ears that understand ,The therapist's job is to help sort things out and move forward so any advice you give could be misinterpreted or taken negatively . Listen and don't condescend because you care for free and that really helps .
