Welcome to episode 382 of Sexology Podcast! Today I am delighted to chat with Dr. Joli Hamilton. In our conversation we delve into the intricate dynamics of jealousy within relationships, whether they be monogamous or non-monogamous. Dr. Hamilton's insights shed light on the nuances of sexual jealousy, distinguishing it from mere envy and highlighting its role as a multifaceted emotional response that signifies a perceived risk to the bond we hold dear. 

As we discuss this sensitive topic, we uncover strategies to navigate the profound emotional hurdles that jealousy can present, while also confronting the societal stigmas and misconceptions that often surround this complex emotion. Join us as we unravel the layers of jealousy and explore ways to foster healthier and more secure connections in our intimate relationships.

Dr. Joli Hamilton is the relationship coach for couples who color outside the lines & founder of The Year of Opening. She is a research psychologist, TEDx speaker, best-selling author, and AASECT certified sex educator. Joli also co-hosts the Playing with Fire podcast with her anchor partner, Ken.
