Do you make users aware of the underlying cause of this phenomenon? Explaining an underlying cause may take away the cause=problem.
The situation you describe: you have to do something, but actually you don't want to/resist, and you run away doing something else. It seems your different intelligence regions, signal there is a "threat": a system is obliging us to do things that might harm us, so we better run away iso facing and dealing with the issue ... because the issue comes with a whole system backing it up and we better avoid fighting it and we don't want to join it or are not allowed to join it, so you run. So, you have to make peace inside yourself: you have to make all your intelligence regions make peace one with another. You might want to consider making a personal piece of art that shows how whatever you have to do is part of a larger puzzle to get you where you all DO want to get. Once you have all your intelligence regions on one line, you'll be less distracted, or get this "run and flee" reaction, because you and all your intelligence regions will actually agree that, whatever you have to do, is exactly what you have to do and want to do because it will get you where you actually want to be in the most efficient way.
