DO YOU THINK YOU MIGHT BE LIVING A LIFE AFFECTED BY COMPLEX TRAUMA?
DOWNLOAD OUR SELF-EVALUATIONS
The below evaluations are not intended to diagnose someone with C-PTSD. They are used for self-awareness or self-discovery purposes only. The questions within each are based on Tim Fletcher’s 60 Characteristics of Complex Trauma or the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Test (not property of Tim Fletcher Co.). Take notes of what you have marked as affirmative (those you have marked as “Very True, True, Always, Yes or Sometimes”.) These could be sensitive areas and an opportunity to explore, heal and grow.
The material in these evaluations may be triggering for some readers, especially for those who have suffered from extreme forms of abuse. Try your best to work through the material as an observer and allow yourself to work through the emotions or memories by going to a safe place in your mind.
If you are feeling triggered at any time, please put the material down. Ensure you have supports or loved ones in place as you work to process or request help from a centre or hotline near you.
“Our brains are wired for connection, but trauma rewires them for protection. That’s why healthy relationships are difficult for wounded people.” - Ryan North
