Human: This is who you are.
  Interaction: This is what you do.
     Research: This is what we study.

Thank you for coming to share your story with us. This is a unique site that has been developed for three reasons:

The first reason is about you. We hope that by writing your story it will help you reflect on and more fully understand the events that you have experienced. Writing allows you to put things in perspective, to revisit memories, to challenge your assumptions and to grow emotionally.

The second reason is to allow us to study the events (phenomena) that you have personally experienced and lived through. They have become a part of who you are: part of your emotional soul. At Human Interaction Research, we are very interested in trying to understand how people incorporate significant emotional events into their lives. By sharing your story, your emotional journey, you give us the opportunity to search for patterns of behaviour.

The third reason is that we would like to publish our findings so that other people can share in your experience. These publications would be a unique guide for others in similar situations. Instead of "experts" telling you how it should be, your story will be able to show the reader how it was and how it felt to you. In effect, it would be your experience, your emotional journey that would help guide and counsel the reader.

Please enjoy your experience.
