What causes jealousy?

Jealousy is triggered by a perceived threat to something you value — most commonly a relationship or someone's affection. It combines anxiety (fear of loss), anger (perceived violation), and often shame (feeling inadequate). It often reflects attachment anxiety and insecurity more than actual threat. Lovon helps you explore what is underneath your jealousy and develop healthier ways of managing it in your relationships.
