Taming the Green-Eyed Monster: Handling Jealousy in Relationships

Unhealthy or 'morbid' jealousy can reach levels of obsessive suspicions, controlling behaviors, checking emails and social media, or even violence.
Ever felt that pang of jealousy when someone else catches your partner's eye? It might seem harmless at first, but jealousy can quickly spiral into something much more damaging. In this episode of 'A Little Help For Our Friends', hosts Jacqueline Trumbull and Dr. Kibby McMahon dig into the thorny issue of jealousy in relationships. They start by explaining the difference between jealousy and envy, a subtle but important distinction.
The conversation then moves to who is most prone to jealousy and why it can sometimes take over our thoughts and actions. Jacqueline and Kibby don't just stop at identifying the problem—they offer practical advice for anyone struggling with these feelings. From enhancing your primary relationship to setting clear boundaries, their tips are designed to help you manage jealousy before it becomes toxic. They also discuss the role of secure attachment in fostering trust and reducing jealousy.
And for those in non-exclusive relationships, the hosts suggest ways to navigate jealousy through open communication and compromise. Whether you're dealing with a touch of jealousy or something more intense, this episode offers valuable insights to help you keep your relationships healthy and happy.
