Treating Jealousy

Jealousy can wreck weekends, scramble thinking, and still claim it’s “just care.” Join Prof Patrick McGhee for a fast, practical workshop on jealousy—the powerful cocktail of threat, loss, and imagined rivals—and leave with therapist-ready CBT tools you can use tomorrow.


We’ll cover rapid case formulation (attachment, schemas, safety behaviours), distinguishing jealousy from OCD, health anxiety, and trauma echoes, and evidence-based strategies: behavioural experiments, attention training, response-prevention for checking and reassurance, imagery rescripting, compassion-focused exercises, and values-based action. We’ll map couples dynamics, tackle digital triggers (phones, social feeds, location-sharing), outline risk and safeguarding steps, and plan humane endings without fuelling secrecy or punitive rules.


You’ll leave with editable worksheets, a supervision checklist, and a mid-therapy review script tailored to jealousy cases. CPD certificate included. Suitable for CBT practitioners at all levels; relevant in private practice, IAPT/NHS pathways, and couple-informed work.


Hosted by Practical CBT. Presented live by Prof Patrick McGhee. Interactive, evidence-aware, and politely allergic to waffle. If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I assessing jealousy—or accidentally reinforcing it?”, this session is for you. Book now and help clients trade hypervigilance for clarity, connection, and calm—without losing kindness along the way. Includes Q&A, realistic case vignettes, and downloadable templates for immediate use.
