Create Your Childhood Trauma Guide

The Guide to Your Childhood Trauma is a thoughtful questionnaire that helps you explore and understand patterns from your childhood, the way you remember it.

Created by trauma survivors for trauma survivors, it's designed to help you make sense of your early life experiences and your present.

This is not a diagnostic testing tool. On our platform, if you believe you've experienced childhood trauma, that's enough. We honor that belief and start from where you are.

The Guide does not provide you with a test score. If you’re after a tool that does that, check out a 10-factor Adverse Childhood Experiences questionnaire used by the healthcare providers.

The Guide is designed to help you reflect on your trauma. It will point out your past and present challenges, as well as your unique strengths.

The Guide to Your Childhood Trauma was created by childhood trauma survivors. We’re not clinicians. We’re fellow childhood trauma survivors﹣each on their journey. We wanted to build a supportive, empathetic resource for people on similar journeys.

We developed this Guide with assistance from AI tools, which helped us organize our personal experiences and insights into a cohesive format. Every question and insight has been carefully considered to ensure it resonates with real-world trauma experiences.

While we've done our best to create a thoughtful, compassionate Guide by combining our lived experiences with AI assistance, we remember that each person's journey is unique.

Therefore it's best to view this Guide as possible perspectives and interpretations based on archetypes of traumatic childhood experiences, not definitive answers or absolute truths. These archetypes represent patterns we've observed across many trauma survivors, but we don't know what you might have actually experienced or where you are in your journey right now.

As you read, you'll have the opportunity to indicate whether each interpretation resonates with you by clicking 👍 Like and 👎 Dislike.
