Complicité autour d'un caféLa surcharge mentale de la femmeAbordons aujourd'hui un sujet dont on ne parle pas suffisamment, selon nous: la surcharge mentale de la femme. Dans le couple, la femme a généralement tendance à s'en mettre plus sur les épaules et à ressentir le besoin de penser un peu à tout pour la famille, ce qui peut causer une charge psychologique et émotionnelle difficile et lourde à porter au quotidien.
On discute entre autres des répercussions et des solutions pour rééquilibrer cette surcharge mentale.
