<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

So I feel like a lot of posts on here are about dealing with a jealous SO, but I haven't found many experiences from the jealous person's side.. Was just looking for some clarity and maybe similar experiences. 

I realize that jealousy stems from an inner self-doubt or lack of confidence. I feel safe and loved in my relationship and know that my SO is strongly against cheating. I don't have a reason not to trust him, but I can't help shaking feelings of jealousy surrounding a girl he hangs out with. I don't compare myself to her, or think she's a scheming harlot, but I get a twinge when I hear that they've hung out or that she's slept over at his place. I feel like maybe it's because I haven't met her yet (just seen pictures).

I don't want to smother him or try and control his social life due to my insecurities, so I want to know anyone's experience of dealing with their jealousy. I am going to talk to my counsellor next week, but it would be great to hear anyone's solution to this issue.
<bot>: Has anyone figured out a tactic to deal with jealousy/irrational fears in a relationship? Looking to free myself from this unnecessary negative emotion.
