What to do when jealousy strikes your relationship?

@onelifeonlycounseling

What to do when jealousy strikes your relationship? Jealousy is one of the most painful emotions in a relationship. It can make one partner shrink their world out of fear… and push the other partner into panic, defensiveness, and exhaustion. In this video, counselor Nathan Chua (One Life Only Counseling Services) explains jealousy through a contextual behavioral lens (ACT + IBCT) — showing why jealousy narrows our world, how fear takes over, and how partners can respond from values instead of panic. You’ll learn: ❤️ What jealousy is really trying to protect ❤️ Why interrogation, control, and defensiveness make things worse ❤️ How to use the “friend experiment” to guide healthier choices ❤️ How the wrongly-accused metaphor helps partners act with dignity ❤️ Why relationships improve when love — not fear — takes the lead Remember: No relationship gets healthier by obeying fear. It gets healthier when partners act from the kind of love they want to stand for… even when fear is in the room. #OneLifeOnlyCounseling NathanielChua ACTtherapy IBCT JealousyInRelationships RelationshipAdvice ContextMatters LoveAndFear MentalHealthAwareness PsychologicalFlexibility CouplesTherapy#fyp #counselingphilippines #foryou #PsychologyVlog #counseling #onelifeonlycounseling

Jealousy is one of the most painful emotions in a relationship.
It can make one partner shrink their world out of fear…
and push the other partner into panic, defensiveness, and exhaustion.

In this video, counselor Nathan Chua (One Life Only Counseling Services) explains jealousy through a contextual behavioral lens (ACT + IBCT) — showing why jealousy narrows our world, how fear takes over, and how partners can respond from values instead of panic.

You’ll learn:

❤️ What jealousy is really trying to protect
❤️ Why interrogation, control, and defensiveness make things worse
❤️ How to use the “friend experiment” to guide healthier choices
❤️ How the wrongly-accused metaphor helps partners act with dignity
❤️ Why relationships improve when love — not fear — takes the lead

Remember:
No relationship gets healthier by obeying fear.
It gets healthier when partners act from the kind of love they want to stand for…
even when fear is in the room.

Two Shrinks Over Drinks AGAIN!

In this episode for our series, Shrinks Over Drinks, I talk with Dr. Niklas Torneke, a Swedish psychiatrist who has authored three books in English and more in Swedish. Two of his books in English have been very instrumental in my journey into ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), RFT (Relational Frame Theory), and behaviorism. He is an authority when it comes to the uses of language and metaphors from an RFT perspective.

I have myself seen how his work has informed me inside the counseling room and how much it helps people see through the veneer of language.
