I'd have to say you're wrong on this count, but it's pretty common that people think they can "will" their way through psychological problems (especially with blowhards like Dr. Phil distilling these problems into a simple matter of choice.) The rational mind is not very helpful in rectifying these problems; it really takes long, intensive interpersonal contact (usually therapy) to work your way through entrenched thought patterns and behaviors. It is only humorous now to look back at Freud and his auto-psychoanalysis.
Anyway, it may be something worth considering.
