True. But, it is possible to achieve being stronger so that one is capable of opening of and being vulnerable through breaking down barriers, learning to trust, and learning to love oneself in therapy. It may take some hard work and time, but it is possible.
I do think effort of will is necessary to some extent, without it you would not have the will or strength to do the work you need to do to get to a healthier place. Also, will is involved in taking risks and exposing oneself, and through these, we can learn to become stronger. It's the old exposure therapy idea used in overcoming fears.
