Levels of Emotional Awareness and the Transformation of Implicit Motives

Can you explain why a discrepancy between implicit and explicit motives can lead to a loss of well-being?

Can persons achieve explicit knowledge of their implicit motives? If yes, can we deliberately change our implicit motives?

Emotions seem to be something that is present in consciousness. You, however, argue for unconscious emotions. What you do mean by that?
