You understand where the distress comes from, but your body stays on alert?
A gentle self-observation, inspired by the International Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ), to recognise how difficult experiences can stay in the body, and to discover trauma-informed approaches that don't rely on words alone.
- ●You understand where the distress comes from, but it isn't enough
- ●Very intense emotions, or not feeling them at all
- ●A sense of being stuck, of living half a life
Created by Francesca Peruzzi, clinical psychologist specialising in psychosomatics, trauma and arts therapies. Sessions available in English.
Thinking of a difficult experience you carry inside: in the last month, have memories, images or dreams come back so strongly that you relived it here and now?
This questionnaire is a self-observation tool: it is not a diagnosis and does not replace a clinical assessment. If you have physical symptoms, it's important to rule out medical causes with your doctor first. If you are in crisis or thinking of harming yourself, call 112 (the European emergency number) or your local emergency services.
