If Ellie Zeiler really wants to improve and transform herself, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding her back and preventing her evolution:
– her preference for illusion
– her hypersensitivity
– her emotionalism
– her lack of self-confidence
– her guilt

Ellie has significant intellectual potential which may merely need to be managed better and oriented toward her environment. In the first part of her life, this mental energy may have some negative effects and drive her into self-destructive behavior. She will have to make an effort to understand certain obsessions, which are unconscious and therefore all the more powerful and irresistible, if she wants to overcome the feelings of failure they cause. A complete psychological metamorphosis may occur when she makes up her mind to accept and understand the matters she has rejected and repressed.
