The previous parts of this series have established something important: retroactive jealousy is not a problem of thinking. It is a conditioned nervous system response, generated through unconscious emotional learning, and maintained through a self-reinforcing loop that conscious effort cannot easily break. The approaches that are most likely to resolve it are ones that work at the level where it actually operates.

Hypnosis and NLP are tools that work in precisely that territory. They are not treatments for a disorder. They are methods for communicating with the unconscious processes that generate learned patterns, and for supporting those processes to update in a direction that serves the person better.
