Eifersucht: Völlig normal oder Beziehungskiller? | 40+ die Podcast Therapie

In this episode of 40+ The Therapy Podcast, we discuss how much jealousy is normal and how we can deal with it. A key concept here is self-esteem. We also learn how a secure attachment style can reduce jealousy. Christian Peter Dogs, a specialist in psychiatry and psychosomatic medicine, and Florian Weber also talk about their own experiences with jealousy, the role of social media, and who is more jealous in relationships: men or women. 💛 💭 Healthy jealousy sets boundaries, unhealthy jealousy isolates Healthy jealousy clearly expresses the desire for exclusivity ("I don't want you kissing anyone else"). Unhealthy jealousy doesn't speak up but secretly checks phones or tracks locations. 🧠 The more jealousy, the less trust The root of unhealthy jealousy rarely lies with the partner, but rather in one's own lack of self-esteem. The constant fear of loss signals to your mind: "I'm not good enough for anyone to stay with me." 🔄 The Three-Pronged Approach to Overcoming Relationship Drama To conquer jealousy, three pillars are needed: self-confidence, actively building trust in the relationship through trust-building measures, and the partner consciously conveying a sense of security. 📉 Men Fight for Possession, Women Crawl Psychology reveals clear differences: When pride is wounded, men are more likely to react aggressively (verbally or physically) to defend their "possession." Women, in times of crisis, are more prone to self-destruction and inner turmoil.
