Hello survivor friend (or friend of a survivor),
My name is Jonathan. I am majoring in Psychology, my goal being to earn a Master's Degree, and become an M.F.T. Once I start seeing patients, I desire to be a healer for those who have PTSD and DID. Some of you may know me from the Survivorship community. I have a passion to help in healing, and I look forward to being in a capacity to match my experience, compassion for, belief in, and concern for survivors.
I am currently taking an upper division research class. I need to design, distribute, and then gather data on why it is still taking an average of 6 years to get a proper diagnosis for DID.
I am asking for your help. Please take a few minutes to answer this survey and e-mail it back to me. I am attempting to collect 50 of these brief surveys. Also, if you can possibly forward this to any special qualifying friends you know, I would really appreciate it. I need these sent to me by April 15, 2015.
I promise to keep these confidential (I will be the only one to see them). Thank you in advance for your assistance.
