How to get rid of jealousy? Real or fake?

Tell me, does anyone know if this is really possible? Has anyone ever had hynotherapy? Please read the following:

 

 

Hypnotherapy And NLP To Help Stop Jealousy

 

Sometimes there seem to be good reasons for feeling jealous, many times there aren't. When someone is experiencing jealousy for no real reason then their imagination needs training.

 

For it is the imagination that causes these feelings of jealousy, when people visualise, for example, their partner with someone else. This can cause a whole host of problems associated with these jealous feelings, from anxiety and panic, to anger when their partner simply looks at another person.

 

Then jealousy can occur when, say, someone else gets promoted at work and you feel you should have got the job. Or it can rear it's head when your neighbour buys a new hi-fi that's better than yours.

 

These patterns of thinking, imagining, and subsequently feeling that we call jealousy are not only usually useless, but also debilitating.

 

By using the models of neuro-linguistics and hypnotherapy I work to literally retrain your thinking so that you can control and eliminate these unwanted 'jealous' patterns.

It depends on the individual practitioner of this and what they are actually working on, but "neuro-linguistics" and "hypnotherapy" are really just terms someone is throwing around to sound official and expert. I don't think it'd be the most effective treatment, it's really not accepted in the field. For stopping jealousy I'd suggest focusing more on your underlying beliefs that cause your jealous feelings to emerge (more cognitive types of treatment). Why do you get jealous so easily? Do you feel like others' accomplishments or bad behavior defines you in some way? It is you that is reacting to these situations with jealousy, something you believe about yourself that drives you.

 

If you start to believe that you are more worthwhile and good by your self, then what others do will roll off your back more easily. Boyfriend looking at other girls? Well that's him being a jerk, it doesn't say anything about how good a girl you are. It's something wrong with him, and he should suffer the consequences. Friend got a good promotion? If you are happy where you are at, you won't be jealous of them because you will be self-assured of your own position.

 

Maybe this hypnotherapy person incorporates a lot of this kind of stuff too, but by itself hypnotherapy may help you relax, but not change your core beliefs which will pop up again later.
