Past Trauma Assessment

Directions: Answer yes or no to the following statements.

Warning: Some of these statements may be triggering to you.

Have you ever had frequent thoughts like…

1. I hate myself;

2. I feel broken inside, like something is missing;

3. I know I am not living my best life;

4. I just do not know what is wrong with me;

5. I spend too much time rehashing/living in the past;

6. I keep waiting for and expecting my best life;

7. I can’t function well on many days;

8. I can’t seem to find my true love, any love;

9. I have unexplainable chronic pain;

10. I don’t know why many others are succeeding much more than me;

11. I spend too many days drinking away my troubles;

12. I am tired of battling depression, anxiety;

13. I engage in risky behavior to prove I’m alive;

14. I wear many masks to hide my true self;

15. I often feel disconnected from the world;

16. I am hurting and just not sure how much more I can take.

Scoring: The point of this exercise is for you to go inward, both for responding to these statements as honestly as possible, but also to help start the process of self-discovery of past trauma wounds – wounds that need healing.

One of the greatest things you can do for yourself is to release the hold that past trauma wounds have on your body, spirit, mind. A healing journey takes you to places in which you can find healing, find closure, find forgiveness, find love, find peace.
