PTSD Test: post-traumatic stress symptoms after trauma
64 questions·10 min·5 dimensions·up to 20 clinical frameworks·6 report sections
Good morning,
This test looks at symptoms linked to a traumatic event. It does not require any account of the event itself. It examines four aspects: what comes back without warning, what has been kept at a distance since, the state of alert the body has not left, and the settled thoughts about oneself, about others and about safety. The report brings these elements together.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 64 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book The Practical CBT Guide, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.
