Hello :) Thanks so much for your interest in helping with my research! This survey is intended to gather information on the role of love in healing queer-specific trauma. Although all questions are intended to allow the respondent to interpret their own definitions of the subject matter (as trauma, love, and queerness are all unique to the individual), the answers provided will be used to better quantify which forms of love are most prevalent among and beneficial for healing in the queer community!

The questions below are for all individuals regardless of their identity and relationship with queerness, trauma, or love!

All responses to the following questions are anonymous and any data will be presented as an aggregate. No identifying characteristics will be collected or shared. Since questions ask about trauma, please don't hesitate to skip any question or stop at any point if you are uncomfortable <3
