You're listening to On Attachment, a place to learn about how attachment shapes the way we experience relationships and where you'll gain the guidance, knowledge and practical tools to overcome insecurity and build healthy, thriving relationships.

I'm your host, Relationship Coach Stephanie Rigg, and I'm really glad you're here.

Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of On Attachment.

In today's episode, we're talking all about jealousy, how to manage jealousy in relationships.

So I think unless you are superhuman, the most

confident and secure person to ever walk the planet, you've probably experienced jealousy

at one point or another in your relationships. And that's because jealousy is a very,

very normal part of being human. But I think that we could all agree that there are healthy, normal expressions

of jealousy, and then there are versions of jealousy that can really send us to not so healthy

places, both within ourselves and our relationships. So I'm hoping that in today's conversation,

I can give a bit of context for jealousy and unpacking what might be the drivers of that

if it's something that you experience very acutely in your relationship.

And also some tips on how you can talk to your partner about jealousy.

Any particular situations that might be triggering your jealousy and how you can navigate

those together in a way that hopefully brings you closer

rather than it being a persistent wedge between you that really drives you apart and

undermines the security of the partnership. So that's what we're going to be talking about today.

Before we dive into that, a couple of quick announcements. As I've mentioned in the past few episodes,

Healing Anxious Attachment,

which is my signature course, is reopening for enrollment later this month. Over a thousand people

have been through Healing Anxious Attachment in the last year or so since I first launched it. It's a

really powerful program and it's one that I'm always improving and adding more to. So this will be the fifth round and it will be the best yet.
