No Need for Exposure? Treating Retroactive Jealousy with I-CBT

Are constant thoughts and doubts about your partner's past relationships causing you distress? You might have heard about Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) as a treatment for retroactive jealousy. Whilst ERP can be helpful, it's understandable to feel apprehensive about deliberately engaging with these difficult thoughts. As a therapist specialising in this area, I explain the principles of ERP for retroactive jealousy but also introduce you to a powerful alternative: Inference-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (I-CBT). Learn how I-CBT targets the underlying doubt driving your obsession, offering a path to peace without necessarily relying on exposure exercises. We'll explore the nuances of both approaches to help you find the most suitable way to reclaim your clarity and your relationship. #retroactivejealousy #therapy #ocdtreatment #cbt See my website for more: https://jasondean.co.uk The information provided by Jason Dean is solely intended for informational and entertainment purposes and are not a substitute for advice, diagnosis, or treatment regarding medical or sexual health conditions.
