Funzing Talks | The Science of Change
WHEN: 5th April | WHERE: Shoreditch | Price: £12
Your personality is the set of basic traits that makes you you, influencing your habits of thought and behaviour. But how fixed are they? The great American psychologist William James said that our personality is set like plaster by age 30. But new findings show that while there is a degree of stability in our traits, we also continue to change in meaningful ways through our lives – our personalities are more like plastic than plaster.
In this talk, psychologist and author Dr Christian Jarrett will give you the low down on the pros and cons of the main personality traits, from extroversion to conscientiousness (and the dark triad traits, including narcissism) and how they are so consequential. Indeed, policy makers and commentators are increasingly coming to realize the role that personality plays in shaping our lives, from our success at school and work, to our mental and physical health and relationships. You will hear how your traits are likely to change through your life as you age and in response to different experiences. But we don’t have to be passive: you’ll also discover some of the evidence-backed ways that it is possible to deliberately change your personality.

Funzing Talks | Psychology of Attraction
WHEN: 5th April | WHERE: Shoreditch | Price: £12
With 12 years experience listening to clients stories then combining this with his training in Imago relationship psychology and work as a hands-on sex practitioner Sex Engineer and Relationship Therapist Colin Richards presents this casual, fun talk on his observations and theories on our unconscious dynamics of attraction.
Do you ask yourself…..
Why do I always meet the same type of guy /girl; end relationships the same way; feel afraid of commitment; feel in need of security; get great sex but lousy life partners; meet nice guys/girls but lousy lovers; fall for abusive partners; attract victims or needy people; always go for older guys/girls; want a younger partner; feel anxious when having sex; feel guilty when being sexual; find it difficult to express myself sexually; can’t achieve sexual fulfillment; experience anxiety when having sex.
These are just some of the relationship and sexual performance challenges that Colin will be talking about. He will explain how our early life influences can affect both our attractions to others and our subsequent sexual preferences, behaviours and fears. Come along on your own, with a friend or partner and listen or take part in some of the exercises. This talk is designed as an introduction to behavioural psychology and the Imago relationship model. Experienced practitioners and psychologists are most welcome but please note you may feel you are covering old ground but hopefully leave seeing things from an alternative viewpoint.
