Quick takeaways

Regulating sensations of jealousy in the body can help uncover underlying emotions and connect the mind and body in non-monogamous relationships.

Working with a somatic approach can help individuals navigate the disconnect between body and mind, release unresolved traumas, and build self-love and intimacy in non-monogamous relationships.

For individuals experiencing intense and uncontrollable jealousy in non-monogamous relationships, deeper trauma processing may be necessary to expand their capacity for navigating jealousy in a healthier way.

Deep dives

Regulating sensations of jealousy

Jealousy is a normal emotion that can come with non-monogamy. By focusing on regulating the sensations of jealousy in the body, one can move through it and uncover deeper, uncomfortable sensations such as sadness or grief. Giving these sensations attention and care allows for the exploration of the stories created by the mind, connecting the mind and body.
