I Told Her Family About Her Past (Retroactive Jealousy)

Have you ever done something out of retroactive jealousy that you instantly regretted? When obsessional thoughts about a partner's past take over, it's too easy to cross red lines and break boundaries that leave your relationship on the brink of collapse. In this video, I share the story of "Andy," a client who let his retroactive jealousy get the better of him at a family BBQ - resulting in his girlfriend's family finding out intimate details about her sex life. When you've made a massive mistake in your relationship due to RJ, how do you fix it? We look at why standard apologies often fail, how to handle the compulsive need for "resolution," and why these devastating breaking points can actually become the exact catalyst you need to finally heal and change your behaviour for good.
