About this episode

In today's Q&A episode, I'm answering the question of how to navigate an all-consuming fear & paranoia around a partner cheating - particularly in circumstances where that fear is seemingly unwarranted.

We'll cover:

  • the importance of nervous system regulation when we experience intense fear & paranoia
  • when to talk to a partner about our fears
  • the link between fear of cheating and low self-worth
  • a liberating truth about control in relationships
