“It is well substantiated that Hormones control our behaviour but sometimes we consciously control our behaviour to further regulate hormonal control of our behaviour. For instance, a person’s wife dies. Shocked, his hormonal levels go crazy and he is deeply in grief. But after somedays, he comes to an understanding with himself and tries to consol his mind that – Boy, what has been done, has been done. Lets continue with the life and he delibrately tries to forget his grief i.e. in other words, he delibrately controls his hormonal changes. How such sort of “active control” over behavior is explained by Molecular Neuroscience?”

I don’t think that “molecular neuroscience” could help you!
As long as I know we don’t know yet how we control our hormones in order to modulate our behavior. If you take a look at the literature you can see that there are just “cognitive neuroscience” papers. In there you can’t find any hormone but only fMRI et al. activations in controlling fear, anxiety, rage and for sure grief!
I think this control is due to neurotransmitters instead of hormones, and I’m not talking about a specific one.
The activation of a specific neuron is modulated in a short-term-way by the opening of ion channels and in a long-term-way by transduction of other neurons’ signaling.
To date, we just know which receptors are present in the post-synaptic terminals of neurons. For emotions and feelings we only have cognitive models of brain areas more activated than others but: which neurotransmitters are implicated in this major activation??
Last but not least, your question is more complicated than expected because you talk about an “auto-modulation”. I’ve never heard about scientific works about that!
