Three things you can do before the course exists.
Useful on their own. The course is for when you want the whole skill, not just the first move.
-
Separate feeling, evidence and inference
Original example: your partner mentions lunch with a colleague; you feel jealous and imagine they will leave. The lunch is the reported event. The imagined future is not established by that event alone.
-
Choose a respectful question
Try: 'I noticed I felt insecure. Can we talk about what we each expect around communication?' Avoid demands for passwords, surveillance or controlling who someone may see.
-
Check your response and its limits
Ask whether the conversation addresses a real agreement or seeks certainty nobody can provide. Jealousy does not justify coercion. Persistent distress, unsafe behavior or relationship harm warrants appropriate support.

Before the course is built
Setup asks about your situation first.
Lesson 1 opens on the moment you describe, and the examples use your role. For this request, expect questions like these.
- Is this about a current relationship, a past one that still bothers you, or a pattern?
- Does it show up as checking, questioning, withdrawing, or silent misery?
- Is there a real cause, an imagined one, or something in between?

Jealousy proves love or betrayal
A feeling alone establishes neither.
Reassurance always helps or always harms
