For example, if you have an aversion to something that you actually need to do, it's probably easier to get rid of the aversion than to get rid of the need to do it.

I agree with your point, but might I add the caveat here that a lot of people feel they "need" to do things that aren't actually necessary?

Oh sure, in fact that's often the source of the aversion. ;-)
