Tea Talk: The Science of Breakups
When relationships become difficult, many people wonder: Is this just a rough patch? Can we repair this? Or is it time to let go?
Join Shaysa Villa, LCSW, for a conversation that explores what decades of relationship research tells us about how relationships change, why couples drift apart, and how people can make thoughtful, informed decisions when facing relationship uncertainty. This session offers evidence-based insights in a relaxed, discussion-friendly space.
Whether you're navigating your own relationship, supporting someone else, studying psychology, or simply interested in understanding relationships more deeply, we hope you'll join us for an afternoon of learning, conversation, and tea. 🫖
What to Expect:
Together, we'll explore topics including:
Why people choose to be in relationships, and why commitment changes over time
Common patterns that contribute to relationship deterioration
What "breakup discernment" means and why clarity is different from rushing a decision
Research-backed pathways couples commonly take when facing relationship uncertainty
Opportunities for reflection and open discussion in a supportive environment
Please note that this Tea Talk is not couples therapy or group therapy. It is a psychoeducational event designed to increase understanding and encourage thoughtful reflection.
What to Bring:
Curiosity and an open mind
Questions you'd like to discuss
A notebook if you'd like to jot down reflections or key takeaways
