Announcement: Join Me in Sharing Your Story for My Upcoming Book on Relationship Needs!
Your experiences are important, and others can learn so much from them. I'm writing a book that dives into the unique needs that arise in romantic relationships and explores why we have these needs. I’m inviting you to be part of this journey by sharing your insights and experiences. Your story can help others better understand their own relationship needs.
What’s the Book About?
As a psychologist with extensive experience in romantic relationships, I'm writing a book that combines personal stories with professional insights. My goal is to help readers understand how life events, upbringing, past trauma, and heartbreak shape the diverse relationship needs we all navigate.
What is involved?
The process is covered in roughly two stages:
Interview
Participation involves a recorded 1.5-hour semi-structured interview where you can share whatever you feel comfortable with. Only information shared during this interview may be included in the book.
The interview is audio recorded and transcribed. The recording will be used by Dr Tim and not be shared with others. The transcript is used as the backbone for sharing quotes of your experiences throughout the book.
After the interview, Dr Tim will provide his clinical perspective on your experiences and create a rough draft for your review.
Review and Editing
You will have the opportunity to review the draft and edit, remove, or emphasise any content as you see fit. Depending on the publication process, you may have another chance to review your chapter before final edits are made by the publishers involved with the book.
You can withdraw your participation or request changes up until the manuscript is submitted to the publisher.
Although no guarantee can be made regarding what exactly ends up in writing: every attempt will be made to stay as close as possible to your story and preferences.
What about my data? Is this confidential?
Your confidentiality and privacy are top priorities.
Any information shared will be anonymized, and effort is made to remove identifying details. Some demographic information may be shared in the book as a whole, but not specific to your chapter.
Participation is entirely voluntary, and you can withdraw, edit, review, change or approve the draft up until the manuscript is submitted to the publisher.
Ethical Boundaries
To maintain professional and ethical standards, participating in both my therapy services and this book project cannot overlap. If you're interested in therapy during this time, I’ll be happy to refer you to trusted colleagues while you take part in the book.
What is in it for you?
Your unique perspective and personal experiences are incredibly valuable, and I genuinely believe that others can benefit greatly from hearing about them. Reflecting on your own experiences can provide valuable insights into your relationship needs and personal growth. By sharing your story, you not only help others understand the intricate and complex aspects of relationships but also encourage them to reflect on their own needs and desires in the future. This is an opportunity to contribute to a meaningful project that aims to help others understand and improve their relationships.
Participants will of course get a free copy of the book once published!
