QUESTIONNAIRE

 

This questionnaire is a vital part of my work with womb twin survivors.

I am told that just reading the questions can be interesting!

Also, if this is all very new to you, it can be a great start to your journey of discovery,

because we can exchange emails about your responses if you like.

Once you have completed it, if you decide to remain anonymous we can stop there.

If not, then I will do my best to help you in whatever way I can.

Feelings, beliefs and attitudes


These answers will help me to see if there is any relationship between your feelings, beliefs and attitudes and your experiences in the womb.

Read each statement carefully and decide how true it is for you today.

Then chose a number between 4 (true) and 1 (untrue) and check the box for that number that express how true the statement is. If any statement was once true but no longer applies, check "no longer."
