Emotional trauma can be challenging to spot as it hides behind complex feelings; let this self-assessment test help you dig up your triggers.
You likely don’t have PTSD since you haven’t faced physical threats or distressing events. However, could it be emotional trauma? We’ve crafted a 15-question self-assessment to uncover potential emotional abuse and trauma. This quiz eliminates other possibilities like attachment disorders, focusing on whether you’ve experienced emotional harm.
As Bessel van der Kolk notes in “The Body Keeps the Score,” chronic emotional abuse and neglect can be as damaging as physical or sexual abuse. To put that in perspective, emotional traumas can be so extreme that they might manifest as physical symptoms such as chronic fatigue and headaches.
Our Emotional Trauma Quiz aids in identifying and analyzing your triggers—reminders of intense negative emotions—to determine if they suggest abuse, manipulation, or trauma.
