One of the most common issues people in non-monogamous relationships face is jealousy. But what is jealousy and why do we experience it? It's a powerful emotion that can derail, upset, or even immobilize us. Often when we talk about jealousy, we reduce it to being one thing. There are actually a diverse group of emotions that accompany, intersect, and relate to jealousy, and they manifest in different ways for different people. Learn how jealousy shows up for you, how to unpack it, and strategies to cope with these feelings so we can better thrive in our relationships.
