About this Event
A Conversation on Why We're Drawn to the Wrong People
Join a licensed clinical social worker, professor, and therapist for The Attraction Blueprint: Psychology of Relationship Patterns, an eye-opening exploration of the hidden forces that shape our romantic choices. We’ll uncover why we’re often drawn to the same types of people, even when those relationships don’t serve us, and how early attachment patterns influence who we connect with and why.
This isn’t your typical relationship talk. It’s a thoughtful, engaging, and interactive experience filled with real-life examples, reflective exercises, and powerful insights into human behavior. Together, we’ll explore how familiarity drives attraction, how emotional patterns keep us invested, and how to begin making more intentional, aligned choices in love and beyond. Curious minds (and curious questions) welcome.
Don’t miss this chance to better understand your relationship patterns and step into a more conscious, empowered way of connecting with others with your After5Society.
