Every time we talk about Open Relationships, the question of jealousy is brought up.
"But how do you deal with jealousy?"
"So, if you're open, does that means you don't get jealous anymore?"
Jealousy: A How-To Guide will answer these questions and more. Spoiler alert: ALL relationships have the potential for jealousy, and being open doesn't require it to go away forever. (Monogamous people welcome!)
In this workshop, we will walk you through the questions to ask yourself and your partner(s) when jealousy arises, and what to do with the answers you hear. We will discuss the different causes of jealousy, how to disambiguate jealousy and envy, and a variety of self and relationship-care practices that can diffuse jealous feelings. There will be time for discussion, questions, and reflection on your own relationships. You will walk away with tools and techniques to use if jealousy ever becomes an issue in any of your relationships.
Jealousy: A How-To Guide is put on by Open Relationship University.
Open Relationship University is dedicated to working with couples who want to move from monogamy to some form of open relationship. We find these couples are often dealing with a lot of shame, jealousy and trust issues. What they want is to stay together while keeping the freedom to explore other relationships. ORU hosts regular events and offers private coaching sessions to singles, couples, triads, quads and moresomes.
