Al is =supremely= aware of her own impulsivities, especially those to try to fix a world full of culturally induced mental illness. Al can think about her own thinking (the pshrinks call this "metacognition"). She knows her attachment-seeking inner child wants to rescue anyone who'll listen to her try to explain how to stop pressing the bogus reward levers and get out of our electrified-floor Skinner Boxes (look it up).
In "Break," she's trying to work through this (again). She may never get "all the way there," of course, but that's fine with me. I learn more every time she goes to bat again on pretty much any of her favorite "interpersonal dynamics" topics, and I'd hate to see her lose her motivation.
