🧠 Lecture: "The Science of Attraction: Understanding Our Patterns"

🎤 Speaker: Dr. Mena Mirhom, MD, FAPA

Ever met someone and thought, this feels different… only to realize three weeks later it feels exactly the same?

In this talk, board-certified psychiatrist and Columbia University assistant professor Dr. Mena Mirhom breaks down the science of attraction — and why we keep getting pulled toward the same types of people, even when we know better. From attachment styles to the psychology of “chemistry,” we’ll explore why the people who give you butterflies are often the ones who leave you confused.

We’ll also decode modern dating: ghosting, mixed signals, situationships, and the dreaded “what are we?” conversation. Why does it all feel so chaotic — and why do we keep participating in it?

Expect real insight, relatable examples, and a few moments where you’ll think, this is a little too accurate. The goal isn’t just to analyze your past (okay, maybe a little), but to understand your patterns so you can start choosing differently.

Dr. Mena Mirhom is a psychiatrist, speaker, and Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center. He serves as Chief Wellbeing Officer for Athletes for Hope and works with elite athletes across the NFL, NBA, and beyond. A regular contributor to Forbes and national media outlets, he’s known for making complex psychology practical, engaging, and immediately applicable.
