Exploring the neuroscience of love, sex, and human connection
Researching what bonds us:
A multidisciplinary approach to understanding why we attach, how we love, and why we disconnect.
About
Trish Wright, CSC
Trish Wright is a deeply curious researcher, coach, and student of the intersections between clinical psychology, neuroendocrinology, and relational systems. With a background in sex education, trauma-informed coaching, and behavioral health, Trish brings a multidisciplinary lens to the complexities of human intimacy. Pair Bonded: The Science of Human Connection began as a capstone project during her studies in Psychology and Clinical Psychology at UC Berkeley, and has since evolved into a platform exploring how love, sex, systems, and biology shape us.
Drawing from over a decade of facilitation experience, Trish integrates certified training in clinical sexology, multidisciplinary therapeutic modalities, consent and BDSM education, and community-based conflict resolution to address patterns of relational distress, emotional dysregulation, and attachment wounding. Her previous podcast, The Self Love Show, was birthed during the COVID-19 pandemic as a crucial space for community connection, emotional resilience, and somatic education, offering weekly conversations that supported many in navigating the isolation, trauma, and relational repair during lockdown.
“I believe relationships are the greatest wealth we have.
Compassionate presence and personal awareness can change the world, and we reach our highest potential one small, courageous step at a time.”
The Podcast
Pair Bonded: The Science of Human Connection
A deep dive into how love, sex, systems, and biology shape us.
Why do we love the way we do? What drives us toward intimacy, or pushes us away? And how do systems like capitalism, public health, technology, and trauma shape who we fall in love with, and how do we stay connected?
Pair Bonded unpacks the neuroscience, psychology, and social forces behind modern human connection. Host Trish Wright, neuroscience of love researcher, interviews leading researchers and experts spanning across diverse domains to explore the unseen frameworks of our most intimate relationships. Let's dismantle the common myths and misconceptions about how we love.
From the molecules of attachment to the global structures that shape intimacy, Pair Bonded invites you into rich, unfiltered conversations on love, sex, trauma, identity, and the systems that hold it all together.
Science-focused. Myth Dispelling. In service of human relationships.
