To me, deconstruct means to break down, undo, or remove what you don't want to be there.
So, she could be suggesting when your child has a specific fear or worry, you would talk it out with her (at her level) what her fear or issue is and put it into a perspective so she feels safe.
Ideally, the idea would be to remove or lighten her fear, as so many childhood fears can grow far more than is healthy for little ones.

This made more sense to me. It'll be hard to do in our situation but I'll have to try my best. She shuts down, that's part of the problem.. and I need to be careful in not inadvertently increasing her worries.
I asked my therapist but we had run out of time at that point so she wasn't able to explain it in a way I could put it into practice.
