The new arenas of couple therapy: work, money, tasks and co-existence
A short, dense and directly useful training to help professionals read and accompany contemporary conjugal tensions where they play out today: work, money, mental load, household tasks and everyday co-existence.
Couples are no longer only confronted with communication difficulties or occasional crises. Today they must deal with the individualisation of life paths, negotiations around autonomy, expectations of personal fulfilment, power relations linked to resources, and perceived imbalances in the distribution of responsibilities.
This training offers a systemic reading of these new arenas. It aims to provide solid clinical landmarks, concrete intervention tools and a finer framework for understanding conflicts related to work, finances, tasks and cohabitation.
The 100% online format lets you follow the training live via Zoom while keeping organisational flexibility. The available replay extends the integration of the content and makes it easier to revisit important clinical points after the sessions.

Because the arenas of conflict in couples have changed, and professionals need tools that match these new realities
Issues related to money, work or mental load are not just organisational problems. They often involve recognition, power, security, loyalties, cultural expectations and symbolic debts.
The training provides landmarks for better accompanying conjugal negotiations, clarifying responsibilities, working on recurring conflicts and supporting a more balanced co-construction of the relationship.
The theoretical input remains closely tied to case studies, exercises and therapeutic tools that can be transferred directly into work with couples.
What you will develop
- Grasp the new conjugal dynamics through the prisms of work, finances and household tasks.
- Analyse power relations and negotiation mechanisms in the distribution of responsibilities within the couple.
- Master therapeutic tools to accompany couples facing these emerging tensions.
- Foster a more balanced co-construction of the relationship, taking into account evolving social roles, cultural expectations and family transmissions.
- Identify tensions related to finances, mental load and domestic responsibilities.
- Use systemic approaches to intervene more effectively in these conflicts.
Live session, interactivity and replay
This training is not simply recorded content. It is designed to be followed live, with genuine clinical elaboration work during the session.
- The live session via Zoom allows interaction, exchanges, case studies and small-group exercises.
- The available replay lets you review key points, consolidate the content and keep organisational flexibility.
- The teaching materials extend the training: PDFs, explanatory videos and interactive presentations.
