3 Simple CBT Techniques for Jealousy | Mark Tyrrell

Chronic jealousy bends and distorts our perceptions.

Jealousy is a horrible feeling for your clients. It makes them think and feel all kinds of things they'd rather not. Emotional insecurity drives jealousy as often if not more often than a wayward unfaithful partner.

In this week's video I'll offer you three easy to use CBT techniques to use today with your jealous and insecure clients.

I like your suggestions: the talking to them self as someone caring, valuing and worth talking to. The brain needs that relaxation and feeling self compassion. When a young teen feels bullied and excluded they dont have the connection of a friend for role playing self compassion and this is difficult but your comment supports their development within knowing their brain deserves self compassion and "personal growth" for future thinking and hope (empowering). For this example understanding the young person's feelings of "unfair" and jealousy that they havent experienced what they need then jealousy is understood as natural and ethical awareness the young person has "looking back" at others. Thank you😊

Jealousy isn't just a disorder of the imagination but objective reality because there's always going to be people who are wealthier than you, younger, better looking, more successful and smarter, whatever your trigger . Those disparities definitely have an effect on how you are treated .

Insecurity doesn't always drive jealousy. A deeper stronger driving force of jealousy can be nepotism.😢
