    Seeking participants for mixed-orientation research!

    Hello everyone!My name is Isadora. I am the child of a mixed-orientation marriage.I am also a therapist and a doctoral student at Utah State University, studying couples in mixed-orientation marriages. My research focuses on understanding the experiences of mixed-orientation couples from all angles, including when they stay together as well as when they separate.Currently, as part of my dissertation, I am looking to interview individuals who were once in a mixed-orientation relationship or marriage and have since separated or divorced.I am hoping I could possibly connect with individuals in this group to see if anyone would be willing to be a part of my dissertation study? I plan on interviewing people about their experiences, and of course participation in the study will be completely voluntary and confidential.Also, the study would not officially begin for another couple of months, so no rush on making a decision whether or not to participate!If anyone is interested, please feel free to comment on this post, or DM me directly. You can also reach me at isadoraabela.im@gmail.com if that is easier.Best,Isadora Ferreira De Melo, LAMFT
