How to deal with jealousy using hypnotherapy and NLP
It’s time to deal with jealousy if this green-eyed monster is ruining your relationships and controlling your life. The good news is that jealousy is a learned way of being. Humans are not jealous creatures by nature but, although sometimes there are good reasons to be jealous (an unfaithful partner for example), in most cases these feelings arise when there is no need and take control.
Maybe the neighbor has a new car, the kind you like but can’t afford and you feel jealousy eating you up. Your friend has other friends to hang out with, not just you, and once again you find yourself acting out your feelings of jealousy. Perhaps your cat likes to spend more time next to it. It could be anything that triggers it, depending on the individual.
For effective treatment, it doesn’t matter what triggered your jealousy in the first place. Hypnotherapy and NLP techniques work to train your imagination. Practitioners describe jealousy as an imagination out of control. Jealous people imagine their partner sleeping with that blonde from the office, then the imagined scenario grows, becoming more vivid in the mind’s eye, then the victim acts on it. While the infamous boiling bunny may be an extreme reaction, arguments usually follow a jealous imagination in a relationship with such a partner.
Jealousy can be debilitating, causing panic attacks, anxiety, and all-consuming outbursts of anger. Often, after an argument, the person regrets his jealous rage against his bewildered partner. This can lead to depression when they feel like their imaginations and emotions are out of control. Feelings of frustration are also common, and the victim often questions her sanity or feels helpless, wondering how to overcome jealousy.
These patterns are extremely damaging to relationships and patients often move from one relationship to another with their jealous behavior in each one. Each ends the same way when their partner refuses to deal with jealousy after living in fear of unreasonable outbursts for too long.
Hypnotherapy and NLP techniques make dealing with jealousy easy. Faulty thinking can be reconditioned so that imagined scenarios no longer matter. Techniques neutralize them.
Using hypnotherapy and NLP, no counseling techniques are used, so how the feelings started is not discussed, history is not explored. The imagination simply rewires itself so that you control it and it doesn’t control you.
