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.
