Events Description
Presented by Dr. Susan Boon, Dr. Sara Salavati & Brianna Davison.
Cheating is one of the most painful and complex experiences in relationships—but why does it happen, and how do people respond when it does?
Join University of Calgary psychologists Dr. Susan Boon, Dr. Sara Salavati, and Brianna Davison for a thought-provoking TapTalk exploring why people betray, how partners cope, and what forgiveness or revenge really means in the aftermath of infidelity.
Expect a science-backed, refreshingly honest discussion that blends cutting-edge research with real-world insights—challenging assumptions, sparking reflection, and maybe even making you laugh along the way.
Perfect for anyone curious about human behavior, emotional healing, or just looking for an engaging night of psychology over a pint.
