A Gentle Check-In
Trauma Check-In
A short moment to notice what has been affecting you.
Sometimes it is difficult to know whether something from the past is still influencing how you feel today. This short check-in asks eight reflective questions and takes around two minutes. It is not a trauma test or a diagnosis. You can skip any question.
A short moment to notice what has been affecting you
This short check-in asks eight reflective questions about experiences people sometimes notice when they are under stress or have been through difficult situations. It takes around two minutes.
This is not a trauma test or diagnosis. Your answers cannot tell you whether you have PTSD, complex trauma or any other mental health condition. You can skip any question.
Your reflection
You may not be noticing many of these experiences right now
Your answers suggest that many of the experiences in this check-in are not showing up frequently for you at the moment.
That does not mean your concerns are unimportant. If something specific is affecting your wellbeing, relationships or everyday life, you can still choose to talk about it.
This reflection is not a diagnosis and not a clinical score.
Your reflection
Some of these experiences seem familiar

Your answers suggest that a number of the experiences in this check-in are showing up often.
That is not a diagnosis, and there can be many reasons why someone feels this way. If these experiences are making everyday life, relationships or emotional wellbeing harder, you may want to consider discussing them with an appropriately qualified professional. You do not need to know the right diagnosis or therapy before asking for support.
