Irrational Responses Series - Jealousy - 3 Of 10

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 Adelaide 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.

How Hypnosis and NLP Address Retroactive Jealousy at the Root
May 18, 2026

The previous parts of this series have established something important: retroactive jealousy is not a problem of thinking. It is a conditioned nervous system response, generated through unconscious emotional learning, and maintained through a self-reinforcing loop that conscious effort cannot easily break. The approaches that are most likely to resolve it are ones that work at the level where it actually operates.

Hypnosis and NLP are tools that work in precisely that territory. They are not treatments for a disorder. They are methods for communicating with the unconscious processes that generate learned patterns, and for supporting those processes to update in a direction that serves the person better.

Why You Cannot Think Your Way Out of Retroactive Jealousy
May 13, 2026

Most people who experience retroactive jealousy know, at some level, that their thoughts are not rational. They understand that their partner's past is not a present threat. They can list the reasons why what happened before they were part of their partner's life is irrelevant to who they are together now. The logic is not the problem.

When the Past Will Not Stay in the Past: Understanding Retroactive Jealousy
May 5, 2026

You find yourself thinking about the people your partner was with before they knew you. The images arrive uninvited. The questions form on their own. You replay conversations you were not part of. You imagine scenes you cannot know. And the harder you try to stop, the more insistently your mind returns to the same territory.

This is what retroactive jealousy feels like from the inside. Not ordinary envy, not a passing flicker of insecurity, but something that operates almost independently of your wishes. A pattern that knows exactly how to find its way back, no matter how many times you have resolved to let it go.

Why You Cannot Sleep: Understanding Insomnia as a Learned Nervous System Pattern
April 27, 2026

If you are reading this at an unreasonable hour, or if you dragged yourself out of bed this morning after another night of lying awake watching the time crawl forward, this is for you. You are not failing at sleep. You are not broken. What is happening in your body and mind at night is not a sign of weakness or a flaw in your character. It is a learned pattern, and learned patterns can change.

The Dopamine Loop: How the Brain Builds a Compulsion to Cheat
April 13, 2026

If you have ever sat with the aftermath of infidelity and tried to understand how it keeps happening, you may have arrived at a question that feels both important and uncomfortable: why does something that costs so much keep feeling, in the moments before it happens, like something you cannot not do?

The answer is not found in your character. It is not found in how much you love your partner, or how seriously you take commitment, or how clearly you understand the consequences of your behaviour. The answer is found in the brain, and specifically in the way the brain's reward system builds patterns of compulsion that operate largely outside of conscious control.
