Hi everyone

I received the following request from a trustworthy source. His mum is a survivor.
If you would like to help, please reply using the following email address; lifeisorderedchaos@gmail.com

Thanks in advance.

Jonesy


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.

PLEASE E-MAIL YOUR RESPONSES TO ME AT: lifeisorderedchaos@gmail.com

#1 Name, Initials, or Pseudonym & Current Age



#2 How many years did it take for you to get a correct diagnosis of MPD/DID?



#3 How many therapists did you see, before you got a correct diagnosis of MPD/DID?



#4 For those therapists that did not give a correct diagnosis, why do you think they did not diagnose you as having MPD/DID? 


A. My therapist was not knowledgeable enough to diagnose me with MPD/DID.
B. My therapist did not believe in MPD/DID.
C. Other

Maybe the hyphen shouldn't be in 'g-mail?' Maybe should be 'gmail'?
Once confirmed I will participate too. Just not wanting personal info sent to wrong address.
