Are There Healthy Fantasies?

Received a question the other day re: one of my tweets: A lot of the nitty-gritty of this confusion comes down to definitions. So let’s attack this term “fantasy.” What does it really mean?

Got a question from the great Matias about something I tweeted last fall: There are two parts to the answer. But first, we need to make a distinction.
