#22 Monogamy vs. Non-monogamy

Tune in to learn about two types of jealousy that I have encountered over the years in my work with clients. I discuss in detail what they are and what needs to happen for each of them in order to start solving the issue at the root. Jealousy is a very complex thing where there is no one-size-fits-all solution. The more information we can get on what goes one for us individually, the easier it will be to actually make changes. So, in this episode I give you one way of getting a bit clearer on what is going on for you. *** If you like this podcast, please give me a rating and review so that others can find it easier.

This episode is an unusual one. I received a message from someone how listened to an interview I gave on another podcast that prompted me to address a couple of things. I talk about the way I use the modalities that I have been trained in, where the definitions I use in my “dialogue and practice” come from and, ultimately, how I would love for you to use the information I am conveying to you in this podcast. This is the first episode I did not edit at all, so pardon me for some pauses and “uhms”. 😉I hope you will still enjoy it and I hope that it makes you think, as usual. *** Reference from this episode: Dr. Richard Schwartz – Internal Family Systems (IFS) *** If you like this podcast, please give me a rating and review so that others can find it easier.
