When you have a problem, you do what you can to solve it. That's not idealism, it's the most basic common sense ^ ^;

And why would it become any less effective over time ? She's basically a psionic deity, isn't she ? Making it work on the long run is both the obviously right decision and a total piece of cake in her situation. The fact she has genuine feelings is no reason to foolishly let them wither away, on the contrary properly taking care of your precious heart is common sense.

Somehow, she sounds like a mom giving her children the cold shoulder and cutting fundings to force them to become more responsible XD

So she needs to be disconnected from the people to come of as more impressive, and increase the reverence and fear she inspires ? Petty socio-political manipulation is what lesser beings do by lack of alternative, it does sound rather beneath a true cosmic goddess such as herself. I'm fairly certainly she could have achieved similar results in a way more beffiting her standing, but I understand it's simply the part you want her to play in the story.

Drama ! There lies the true answer ^ ^ As a psionic goddess she could self-therapize herself like a boss in the blink of an eye, but it would remove the drama from the equation, and deprive her of the human frailties that prevent her from nulliffying the plot through sheer awesomeness. A bit of a waste, but it does make sense from this narrative perspective.
