Just personal opinion here, but I believe that if Sarah were to accept that she is a Werewolf and that she enjoys being one, she'd have a much easier time of gaining control over herself.
Going over her dialogues with the other characters, she seems to accept that werewolves exist, and that she is involved with one; but her reactions to herself as a lycanthrope are not all that certain or solid.
The closest she seems to have come to that is her repeated "determination to find a cure for herself"...which says to me that she doesn't see herself as a Werewolf yet, rather, she's "ill" and will seek a "cure".
That is not acceptance, in my book. She's saying Peter is a Werewolf, Jean is a Werewolf, Rebecca is a Werewolf; but Sarah is not a Werewolf; Sarah is sick.
Until Sarah can include herself with all the other Werewolves, she's going to be at the mercy of a set of instincts with no doubts as to who they are.
She's switched species. She is no longer Homo Sapiens Simiensis; she is Homo Sapiens Lupensis, and until she owns that; she's going to have trouble.

I'll shut up now; tear away at my theory...

I think it's less acceptance and more so adaptation. I don't think she's going to suddenly get her head fully around this just by saying "Alright! Fine! I get it! I'm a werewolf." and then suddenly she's just as on the ball as the rest of the pack.

No, her brain needs to adjust. I touched on this theory in . Her mentality needs to catch up with this abrupt change, and it's not something you decide to do, it's something that has to be done. It's like having to grow up again: kids don't decide to become adults.

And besides that, Sarah admitted she was a werewolf more or less as soon as it happened. It might be sarcastic, but she still admitted it:



We're probably assuming far too much of the opening theory, seeing as none of us can read it correctly.

Sarah would never refer to her father in any sort of positive reference, one suspects; not that he's evil like Gus, but because he's a jerk of truly cosmic proportions.
Remember, at the age of eighteen; one still has trouble relating to one's parents as People, rather than the source of all that is NO. Sarah even admitted it to the Wuff-Chibi, saying that the only way to get him off her case was to have her younger sister do something to distract him.

And UberMan; you get the basic idea: Sarah is effectively saying that she is a Special Werewolf because it's a sickness for her (and thus curable in her eyes) while Peter and company are normal for the people that they are.
Thus there is a wall of sorts that Sarah has set up between herself and her Wulf nature; technically DENIAL, that is keeping her from growing into her new Werewolf self. Peter, being born as a Werewolf accepts what he is as a part of his nature, and Sarah isn't doing that; not at all.
Now the ever-lovable Wuff is just a set of instincts and emotion-responses; the Wuff doesn't question herself because she can't; no intellect or personality is there to do the questioning.
In a sense, the Wuff is on automatic; responding automatically to whatever stimulus is presented to her, while Sarah is always stopping to think, and thus gets left behind in the dust.
If Sarah could actually say "I'm a Werewolf and I enjoy being a Werewolf" (especially since the Wuff seems to be having a pretty good time); she'd get control over things a lot faster. She'd be in agreement with herself, and that's always a good way to get self-control.
But- that wouldn't be half as much fun as things are now, would it?
