here's a different angle on that to chew on: expect and allow her go through them. it's how we learn. the human experience is at once broad and the same; many of the things you're afraid might happen, will. your job is to, well, pretend not to freak out, and also to guide her with the benefit of your experience. it's scary shit, no question. but, don't be afraid to let her make mistakes. she's gonna look to you for reassurance the world isn't over. she'll need to know how to do that for herself on her own one day.
a good and dear theater director friend gave the best advice i've ever received: don't get too attached to the outcome.
