I think most people do this kind of thing by watching dramas and scary movies, etc. Somehow maybe "exercising" our emotions?
The things I'd be curious about though, is what are her real relationships with these people like?
An OCD thing could make sense, too--kind of a superstition about preventing it from really happening by rehearsing it in your mind?
But is she feeling cut off from her feelings? Is she feeling like there is enough emotional connection in life?
And, I agree, it would depend on how she feels after goign through the emotions. Can she let it go? Or does it preoccupy her a lot?
