Largely perceived as a negative emotion, jealousy is a feeling that many encounter, but few are taught to truly master. We get so caught up in the dark parts of jealously, that we fail to see how much light it actually holds. In her talk, depth psychologist Joli Hamilton explains the imperfect process of coming to terms with feelings of jealousy, and how we are able to use that to find within ourselves jealousy’s opposite: compersion, or feeling joy for another’s joy. Depth psychologist, AASECT certified sex educator, and life coach focuses on self-awareness, connection and communication at home and in the workplace. Joli’s presentation is titled Compersion–the Opposite of Jealousy. Two little known fun facts about Joli are that she can deadlift 283 pounds and loves the color kiwi green. She is inspired by her big, blended family of seven teenagers because they don’t give up; they tumble, get back up, dust themselves off, and make the trouble into something worthwhile—much like her clients. Joli’s striving is all about making some part of this confusing thing we call life a little bit easier to handle and a lot more interesting. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
