The Trauma Test is designed to provide a general indication of whether emotional trauma might be impacting your life.

4. What does my Trauma Test score mean?
After completing the trauma test, you’ll receive an average score that ranges from 1 to 5. The score represents the likelihood that emotional trauma is affecting your mental health. Here’s what your score means:

Therapy can help you explore the root causes of your trauma and provide the tools you need to heal.
