Thinking about it, it may not be the case.
They're not using everyone's hearts desires per se, else Heather & Mac would be a happy family with their child in her head.
My take on the current Aurora situation is that as Jeanne-Marie the first time she suffered major mental trauma/abuse at the hands of the nuns it created the Aurora personality, so Unity are trying to create a greater trauma in order to create a new even more dysfunctional personality, one rooted in hatred rather than fear.
In order to create that personality, brainwashing her in order to believe she'd been physically abused as well as mentally (be it by nuns originally or the caretaker after editorial) could well create that personality.
