--- End quote ---
Hmm...Unwilling, or unable? She told Marten that she'd tried to keep herself from having crazy reactions. On the other hand, once it was clear that she couldn't take control of her problems on her own, it was time to engage counseling, and she didn't go willingly.
--- End quote ---
Yes, unable is a much better way of phrasing it. She did try with Marten. She just didn't succeed. I felt like she gave up trying at the end, which was probably why I said it like I did, but that wasn't giving her enough credit.

She was having a rough time at the end. When you have that, you give everything up. Which reminds me, I need to go back to my damn studies...
Another reason she didn't succeed was that she does need a therapist to do that. Maybe she is unable to control it because her unconscious is unwilling to change? I daresay it's a common trait for the unconscious mind to work against change, but I would like some backup from someone who actually knows some psychology here.
