How Scoring Works

This trauma quiz questionnaire helps assess symptoms of trauma through a series of targeted questions. The purpose is to provide a preliminary evaluation of your mental health related to traumatic experiences.

Trauma is evaluated using criteria from the DSM, examining symptoms such as re-experiencing the traumatic event, avoidance, hyperarousal, and changes in mood or cognition.

The test scores responses to indicate the presence and severity of trauma-related symptoms. The results of this quiz are confidential, and we will never divulge any health information.

Disclaimer: While useful for initial assessment, this test is not a diagnostic tool, it is still important to seek a diagnosis from a mental health professional. If the test indicates significant trauma-related symptoms, immediate help from mental health services or crisis hotlines is crucial. Please self-report any severe distress or safety concerns.

Trauma Treatment

Trauma bonding is usually treated through trauma-informed therapy.

Trauma therapy usually involves three main steps:

  1. Creating a safety plan
  2. Work on stress-managing strategies and ways to process trauma
  3. Work together with a therapist to rebuild self-esteem and practice new life skills

Therapy can help a person process their experiences, learn how to cope, restructure negative thoughts and feelings, and help a person apply new strategies in their everyday life.

It is important to find a therapy that works for you and your needs. What works for one person may not work for another.
