How to Not Die Alone: Overcoming Your Dating Blindspots

Logan Ury
A Day on Conscious Relationships - The Weekend University

Explore the science of finding, building, and maintaining thriving relationships.

Have you noticed any recurring patterns in your relationships? Like the same themes keep reappearing, but with different partners, and in different situations? Even if they seem to be causing unhappiness - both in yourself and others? If you're not getting the results you want in this area of your life, it's likely you've inherited a relationship 'operating system', which you learned by observing others in early childhood.  This, along with your dominant attachment style (secure, avoidant, or anxious), can often prevent you from getting what you really want from intimate relationships. The good news is - these aren’t set in stone.  It is possible to change your attachment style and to break the unconscious patterns that have been governing your relationships until now.

Content

In this online conference, we’ll explore the science and psychology of finding, building, and maintaining conscious relationships, with talks on: 
  • Healing Attachment Wounds to Create Deep and Lasting Relationships; how the attachment style we develop in early years 'follows' us through life, influencing our behaviour and how we relate to others, how to understand your own attachment style, why secure relating is a skill you can learn, and how to make your secure tendencies more dominant to create lasting, meaningful, and intimate relationships - Alan Robarge
  • Relational Mindfulness: From Trauma to Connection; the neurobiology behind why, despite our best intentions, we repeat the same dysfunctional moves in relationships that we first learned in childhood, why true liberation is about freeing ourselves from our own automatic responses, and how ‘relational mindfulness’ offers a science-based skillset for creating warmer, closer, and more passionate relationships - Terry Real
  • How to Not Die Alone: Overcoming Your Dating Blindspots; understand what’s holding you back in dating (and how to break the pattern), how to know what to look for in a long term partner, how to make online dating effortless and fun, strategies for meeting potential partners in real life, and how to use the latest insights from behavioural psychology to create lasting, life-giving relationships in which both partners thrive - Logan Ury
You’ll learn how these insights can be applied to create thriving relationships in your own life, and also how to help others do the same.

Healing Attachment Wounds to Create Deep and Lasting Relationships

Let’s talk about Attachment in Relationships, specifically patterns of Insecure Attachment. We will cover an introduction to history and also the categorization of Styles. We will consider how Insecure Attachment points towards common trauma symptoms of Hyper-Arousal, Intrusion, and Constriction.

Interchangeable terminology for Attachment Injuries, Attachment Wounds, and Attachment Trauma will highlight the range and subjective continuum of behaviours that show up in our relationships. We will reflect on how to create quality bonds, the universality of emotional unavailability, and the dependency paradox.

This lecture is for anyone who values self-reflection when it comes to creating quality relationships.

Relational Mindfulness: From Trauma to Connection

Research tells us that our autonomic nervous system scans our body four times per second asking “am I safe?, am I safe? am I safe? am I safe?”

If the answer is ‘yes’, we stay neurobiologically in our prefrontal cortex, the most mature part of our brain, our wise adult self, the part of us that is here and now that can observe, reason and decide. However, if the answer is ‘no, I don’t feel safe’, more primitive parts of our neurology get activated. The wise adult self shuts down and the more primitive reactive automatic parts of our nervous system take over. We find ourselves, despite our best intentions, repeating the same dysfunctional moves in relationships that we first learned in our childhood. The sense of the whole of US, disappears and we move into a you and me, win or lose adversarial contest.

The spiritual teacher, Krishnamurti, once said “True liberation is freedom from our own automatic responses.” This workshop teaches the skill of ‘relational mindfulness’, the cultivation of our wise adult selves even in heated moments. Trauma pulls us into immature behaviors in our relationships and learning mature relational skills has the power to heal our deepest injuries.

How to Not Die Alone: Overcoming Your Dating Blindspots

Have you ever looked around and wondered, ‘Why has everyone found love except me?’ you’re not the only one. Great relationships don’t just appear in our lives – they’re the culmination of a series of decisions, including who to date, how to end it with the wrong person, and when to commit to the right one. But our brains often get in the way. We make poor decisions, which thwart us on our quest to find lasting love. 

Drawing from years of research, behavioural scientist turned dating coach Logan Ury reveals the hidden forces that cause those mistakes. But awareness on its own doesn’t lead to results. You have to actually change your behaviour. In this live interview session, Logan will show you how.

Incorporating insights from behavioural science, original research, and real-life stories, you’ll learn: 

— What’s holding you back in dating (and how to break the pattern) 

— What really matters in a long-term partner (and what really doesn’t) 

— ⁠How to overcome the perils of online dating (and make the apps work for you) 

— ⁠How to meet more people in real life (while doing activities you love) 

— How to make dates fun again (so they stop feeling like job interviews) 

— ⁠Why ‘the spark’ is a myth (but you’ll find love anyway) 

And more…

Logan’s data-driven, step-by-step approach has the potential to help you find, build and keep a relationship, in which both partners thrive.

What TWU students are saying

attendee testimonals

I have attended 7 weekend University days and now I do not want to miss one because they have all been fantastic and worth dragging myself away from my lie in on a Sunday for. Each of the sessions I have attended have had excellent speakers talking about fascinating areas of Psychology. Having previously studied psychology I really enjoy delving back into the world of attending lectures and absorbing information again without the stress of exams or essays. But even if you have no psychology background I recommend coming to these events, especially if you see a topic you like you will not regret it! Niall not only organises these amazing event days but also now we have access to podcasts and he takes the time to organise a social after the event to meet fellow psychology enthusiasts as well as provide clear and easy instructions on how to get there, a certificate to say you attended the event and even lunch place suggestions which are little added extras which make the whole experience great. I am very glad to have the weekend university in my life and thank Niall and the team for making this happen.

The Weekend University is amazing! They recently hosted the Holistic Change Summit where such great minds were brought together to discuss a wide variety of topics relevant to change, growth and living a meaningful life. The facilitator, Niall, asked excellent questions which really gave the speaker the chance to discuss ideas that many of us wonder about. It was brilliant and I loved it.

Extremely stimulating events! It brings together great professionals who share their experience in their respective fields to pass their knowledge in a way accessible to the general public and other professionals alike. It is a great way to bring motivated people in the same place! Also, Niall is extremely thoughtful, considerate and driven person. His personal approach and professionalism in making those events happen does not go unnoticed!

I attended 'A Day on Sleep and Dreams’ and it was fantastic - excellent speakers and thought provoking content. The Weekend University has been a great discovery and I will defiantly be attending more lectures. The event was really well organised by Niall - informative emails, follow ups etc. I recommend that everyone takes the opportunity to go, you won’t be disappointed!
Hannah Durhager
Event Attendee
This event is nourishment for my mind! The kind of subjects usually reserved for academics is now open to us all and the information is delivered in a way that anyone can understand. The audience was filled with interesting people, hungry to learn and engage in fascinating conversations. We had all day to connect, to learn and to share. Just like a delicious cool drink on a very hot day, my mind felt quenched! Thank you, Niall, for creating this. I will be back!
