CPTSD Self-Reflection Quiz

1
What is Complex PTSD?

This quiz is based on the International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision (ICD-11) definition from the World Health Organisation and adapted from the International Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ).

Complex PTSD is defined by difficulties in three core areas:

• Emotional regulation (affective dysregulation)
• Self-worth (negative self-concept)
• Relationships (interpersonal difficulties)

Before you begin…

This quiz isn’t here to diagnose or label you.

Complex PTSD can look like laziness, emotional chaos, or not trying hard enough, when really, it’s a response to what you’ve survived.

You’re not alone.

There are ways to feel safer in your body and rebuild your sense of self.

This quiz is one small step in that direction.

Just answer honestly. Your results will be emailed only to you.
