How this can feel in the body

It usually comes up when
A threat to an important relationship—real or imagined.
What this might be pointing to
Protecting your attachment to a specific person; an emotion of relationship.
What you can do with this

Jealousy is almost always social—it lives in relation to someone you deeply care about.
