The traces left behind are not weakness or a flaw in you. After an especially painful relationship ends, body and mind can react to particular tones, places, and notifications. Those reactions alone can't determine a cause, PTSD, or trauma.

This tool draws on the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH's PTSD guide, opens in a new window), research on intimate partner abuse and mental health, opens in a new window, research on intimate partners' coercive control and mental health, opens in a new window. The first explains reactions that can follow trauma; the two studies cover intimate partner violence. These sources don't cover every parent, sibling, workplace, or friend relationship ending, and they have not validated this tool's questions or results.

This result is reference information organizing the scenes you chose from the last 2 weeks. It doesn't judge PTSD, recovery, or the relationship's safety.

If there has been hitting or choking, confinement, sexual coercion, stalking, phone or account checks or location tracking, money being cut off or controlled, or threats of self-harm or harm to others, check the crisis support contacts regardless of any counts. If pressure was put on your neck, symptoms can appear later even without visible marks — get checked at an emergency room.
