If you work with couples, you’ve probably noticed this by now … They’re using AI to vent, figure out who’s “right” during conflict or even using it as a form of connection that blurs the lines of digital infidelity.

AI is reshaping couples’ dynamics fast – so what you learned even a few years ago may already be out of date.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Dr. Marianne Brandon, couples therapy expert and author of the books: Monogamy: The Untold Story and Unlocking the Sexy in Surrender.

In just one day, she will show you how to build practical, clinical skills to assess AI use within couple dynamics and intervene effectively when it creates relational strain.

Join this 6-hour training and walk away with:

  • Assessment tools to determine whether AI hurts or helps the relationship
  • Clinical interventions to address issues of artificial or digital infidelity in couples therapy
  • The latest insights on which attachment styles are more at risk of maladaptive use of  AI
  • Real case examples showing both positive and negative use of AI in couples

The future of couples work isn’t coming – it’s already here.

Purchase today and become the therapist who meets it with skill and confidence.
