Jealousy

Are you tormented by feelings of jealousy?

Everywhere you go in the world, you can find people who are jealous of many things ranging from their spouses or partners to co-workers who get promotions, or even the neighbour next door who seems better off than they are.

Jealousy is an emotion often based on fear of the loss of someone or something, such as a relationship collapse, or if a partner just happens to look at someone else. Everything is interpreted as a threat, and most of the time other emotions like anger, anxiety, and sadness are usually present. I also comes up from the deadly ‘game of comparisons’ that is all to often played in this world of social media experiments.

In other words, jealousy is a basic emotion related to the need to possess, especially in relationships, which causes frustration and anger when it does not happen.

Jealousy is not a sign of love.

Some people have the idea that jealousy is a sign of strong love. Studies have shown jealousy is not love! They maintain that it is a sure sign of insecurity, which causes you to see your partner as an object to be possessed. It is a very negative emotion resulting from selfishness and insecurity – but definitely not from love. It is particularly evident when someone suspects that a third party is posing a threat to a valued relationship.

A threat may be real or imagined, but it can nevertheless cause a major explosion of jealous anger. Extreme jealousy, and the rage it may inspire, has led to rejected partners resorting to murder, often of more than one person.

Research has also suggested that people seldom express jealousy through a single irrational behaviour or emotion. Other emotions which can evoke jealousy, suspicion or anger, can include a perceived or potential betrayal by someone close to you, a fear of losing a romantic partner or someone else important to you, diminished self-esteem, anxiety, and distrust.

Although the reasons may differ, it is how you react to the jealousy which may cause the most personal harm. If you do not get rid of potent jealous feelings, your mental state can be negatively affected and lead to depression and anxiety.

The key to removing jealous feelings and irrational angry responses.

There is no magic pill that can deal with jealousy, and there is no illusion that there ever will be such a pill. Experts agree that jealousy begins in the mind, and depending on past experiences, can easily become an obsession. Research has proven that hypnosis is one of the best ways to deal with jealousy and its related responses.

Hypnotherapy is able to reach into the subconscious mind and get to the root of where the feelings originate. Over time, hypnosis has been recognised as a successful treatment to help people conquer anxiety, quit smoking, change their eating habits, and improve their sleeping habits, as well as several other issues – mostly without resorting to medications.

It has also been extremely helpful in dealing with feelings of uncontrolled jealousy and anger.

How hypnosis helps to eliminate harmful feelings of jealousy.

If your feelings of jealousy have been bothering you for a long time, here is how hypnosis can help you:

When you are in a relaxed state, hypnosis is able to access the subconscious mind, and by the power of positive suggestions, help to convert the jealous feelings into something which will not cause irrational angry responses.
No drugs or medications are used during the hypnotherapy treatment, so you get the relief you need without the interference of side effects.
Using proven techniques angry feelings of jealousy are recognised and diminished by creating a new mindset which helps to prevent the jealous feelings getting out of control.

While occasional outbursts of jealousy from time to time may be normal, if it is not efficiently dealt with, it can degenerate into a more serious mental condition.

Hypnosis, Hypno-Psychotherapy and NLP help those who were vulnerable to jealousy which was set off in certain situations, or by certain people, to remain calm and relaxed in the face of previous harmful triggers.
