    Definitely! Maybe start with something supportive like "you're having a bit of a tough time! Reflux can be terrible" and then ask of she's spoken to anyone else about her concerns.

    You could empathise with her and pass on the name of an LC who you found really helpful. It's up to her if she wants to pursue it or not - you can let her know in an entirely nonjudgmental and supportive way that she has the option of getting another opinion and more support.
    If you attend an ABA group, you could also suggest she comes along to chat with a counsellor.
