In your latter example, I think a control based drug rehab counselor would decrease her harvestability and potentially her polarity (tho that would depend on where in the polarity scale she was before) because unconditional love accepts others unconditionally and does not force change upon them, even if it is in thier physical interest.
The issue of sto oriented beings posessing hurdles to their harvestability or a limit to thier sto polarization was also discussed in the Ra discussion of Patton. You can be sto oriented but have beliefs that limit your polarization.
much love, xise
edit: I just wanted to point out in the above example the intent of the counselor would have a significant effect on her polarization. If she only does this job because she understands that her job's duty us designed to infringe, yet does everything as unconditionally loving and accepting as possible without getting fired, she would probably be more sto polarized than a person who zealously controls and forces physical change down peoples throats because she knows best.
edit2: I focused on the rehab portion. I think the Ra material talks about child rearing and that disciplining (which I interpreted as including control) is a part of the process of teaching them the ways of service (indeed, perhaps we as parents are teaching them both sts and sto by teaching them about positive sto concepts but while also having to discipline or sts methods on the child. perhaps that's another interpretation. interesting). So I don't think I would consider controlling your children quite in the same way, unless it is very overbearing.
