Not diagnostic. Directional. A precise starting point before the conversation. Both instruments are clinically validated, free, and run entirely in your browser — no data leaves your device unless you choose to email it.
A 22-item self-report measure of current distress related to one specific traumatic event across three dimensions: intrusion, avoidance, and hyperarousal. Past-7-days timeframe.
“Any reminder brought back feelings about it.”
A 20-item self-report measure that maps all DSM-5 PTSD symptom criteria across four diagnostic clusters. Past-month timeframe.
“Repeated, disturbing, and unwanted memories of the stressful experience.”
