Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Patti German and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist here in New York City. In this clip we're going to talk about how to spot jealousy in a relationship. Jealousy is a very hard and horrible feeling that one has. When you feel jealousy it is not a good feeling and when a partner is jealous it means that their needs are not being met in the relationship and they are feeling left out and betrayed on some level. So I think when you start to feel a feeling of jealousy I think it might be a good indication to seek some professional help because jealousy has many many legs to it and can really interfere with the flow of a relationship and being in a loving relationship. Underneath jealousy is a feeling of not being good enough, of not being loved, of not being important enough and through professional help we can get to the bottom of what that feeling is about, feelings of not deserving, of not being good enough, a feeling that somebody else is more important so I think it is important to seek professional help when you start to feel jealousy.
