Your answers suggest that you may be experiencing some trauma-related symptoms, such as emotional numbing, difficulty relaxing, or avoiding things that remind you of painful experiences. These may not be overwhelming, but they’re worth paying attention to.
Even mild PTSD symptoms can accumulate over time or intensify when stress increases. The earlier you understand what’s happening, the better equipped you are to respond with care.
You Might Notice:
A subtle feeling of disconnection from yourself or others
A tendency to avoid reminders of something painful
Occasional flashbacks or distressing memories
Trouble sleeping or difficulty staying calm
What You Can Do:
Start tracking when your symptoms show up—what triggers them?
Explore grounding techniques and somatic tools to reconnect with your body
Consider speaking with a trauma-informed therapist, even just for guidance
Explore other screenings like Anxiety, Panic, or Dissociation
You’re not “overreacting.” This is your nervous system trying to keep you safe.
