Trauma-Informed Self-Assessment

This screening tool helps you recognize common trauma responses across four clusters: re-experiencing, avoidance, negative mood/cognition, and hyperarousal. It is not a diagnosis — it is a starting point for understanding your experience.

This tool does not replace professional assessment. If you are in crisis, please contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988.

Check each symptom you have experienced in the past month:

Re-experiencing

Intrusive symptoms — the past feels present

Avoidance

Steering away from reminders

Negative Mood & Cognitions

Persistent negative thoughts and feelings

Hyperarousal

Nervous system on high alert

Your Symptom Profile

This is a self-report screening only. Only a licensed clinician can diagnose PTSD or complex trauma.
