Have you ever encountered someone who reminds you of your ex and not in a good way? This is Usher’s song U Remind Me and we are talking about it. Did Usher have good boundaries in this song? Do you have good boundaries when situations like this happen to you? Or do you potentially just keep dating the same or similar people over and over again? Also, when dating can you also identify when something is negative and this bad experience has become emotionally traumatic? Relationships can be emotionally traumatic for us and affect how we continue to date. Join us in this episode as we discuss all of this. Time stamps:

We have some big dating questions that need answers… ‘why do people choose projects?’, ‘what does it mean to be emotionally vulnerable in relationships?’ , AND ‘is your inner child doing the choosing when dating?’ . In this episode of The Neighborhood, the two brothers, Marty and Malcom, are participating in ‘Pop The Balloon’ in order to find dates and it does not go as they thought it would. So of course, we are talking about it. We are not just talking about the brothers, we are also talking about attachment, trauma, and other mental health behaviors that may influence dating and choices in partners. As always we are going to do this with a lot of mental health information and a lot of fun.
