How to control jealousy?

Jealousy is an involuntary emotional response that is learned by personal or other infidelity experiences, generating an emotional impact that creates insecurities in the affected person.

Jealousy appears when it is perceived that a real or imaginary third person threatens the relationship and there is a feeling of helplessness and uncertainty accompanied by recurrent automatic negative thoughts when faced with the risk of losing that relationship.

Jealousy in small doses is positive because it makes the couple feel important, but when they exceed the limits, they affect the person emotionally and generate irritability, depression, and anxiety by altering sleep, appetite, concentration and affecting all areas of concern. life.

Many times jealousy in a state of despair can lead to suicide. The jealous coexists with a potential threat, and his anxiety leads him to irrational and supervisory behaviors such as checking the cell phone, following the person, etc. This can lead in some cases to hurt themselves, the couple or the possible intruder.

This behavior is not modified with medication or with simple advice because the jealous one suffers and wants to leave that state but does not know how. Specialized therapy consists of using effective scientific techniques so that the person learns to control their obsessive thoughts, has self-control, reduces emotional discomfort, improves their self-esteem, stabilizes emotionally and begins to see what happens with greater objectivity and make better decisions. Remember that when someone loves you, there is nothing that drives them away, and if they do not love you, there is nothing to tie them up.
