My therapist has been talking about unconscious motivation recently, too. This is how he explained it.
I can't prove that I DON'T have an unconscious motivation. He just wants me to accept that it is POSSIBLE that I do.

I think that we are both a bit more openminded. But there is no way to tell exactly what is going on.
Yes, it is frustrating - because I know that Consciously I DON"T want to have this motivation.
I don't think this makes it much clearer, but it is the best I can do for now...
Crushed, I think that SOME things your therapist says make sense, but SOME things don't. Did you have a consultation a little while ago?
