ば　ほど with 2 different verbs; 気持ちの持ちよう


> **作業と思わなければ動けなくなるほど** 切迫していたが、とにもかくにも精神的なダメージは負わなくなった。 だが、これだけは
> **気持ちの持ちようなどでは耐えられない** 。
>
> She is pressured by the fact that the more she does not think about this as
> a job, the more she becomes unable to move.  
>  At any rate the emotional damage is disappeared.  
>  But, she cannot sustain this situation by maintaining her feelings.(or with
> her attitude, way of thinking)

I have 2 questions.

1.V1ばV1ほど=The more V

2.V1ばV2ほど=What does this mean?  
I think "the more V1 the more V2...", but I am not sure.  
Another way I think it could be is "When V1, to the degree of V2....".

The other problem is:

> 気持ちの持ちよう

I found online  
気の持ちよう=考え方次第  
But can't find a definition for 気持ちの持ちよう other than  
[Meaning of
気持ちの持ち方まで問題にしている](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/5526/meaning-
of-%E6%B0%97%E6%8C%81%E3%81%A1%E3%81%AE%E6%8C%81%E3%81%A1%E6%96%B9%E3%81%BE%E3%81%A7%E5%95%8F%E9%A1%8C%E3%81%AB%E3%81%97%E3%81%A6%E3%81%84%E3%82%8B)

Thanks




> 作業と思わなければ動けなくなるほど切迫していた

You can forget the "the more ～ the more ～" pattern for now. This is a plain
old conditional ば you already know. 「作業と思わなければ動けなくなる」 literally means "If she
doesn't think (of it) as a task, she won't be able to move." And "～ほど切迫していた"
can be translated as "She was so pressured that ～" or "She was pressured to
the point where ～."

So she's faced with something very meaningless or disgusting, and she could
not accomplish it without thinking it as a mere task assigned to her.

> これだけは気持ちの持ちようなどでは耐えられない。

  * 気持ちの持ちよう ≒ 気持ちの持ち方 ≒ a way of thinking, frame of mind
  * など implies 気持ちの持ちよう is unimportant.
  * で ≒ by means of

The sentence roughly means "Changing the way of thinking doesn't help her bear
this time" or "This one is unbearable no matter what she thinks of it."
