Trauma bond self-assessment

How Strong Is
Your Trauma Bond?

28 questions that show why leaving – or staying away – feels so hard, and what intermittent reinforcement is doing to your brain and your nervous system.

Before you begin

Think of the person you feel bonded to – a current or former partner, a parent, a friend or a boss. Answer for the last few months.

There are no right or wrong answers. Answer by what actually happens, not by what you hope or think you should feel. The assessment has 28 questions and takes about 8–10 minutes.

You will receive a detailed personal report: your overall score, results in three areas, your dominant survival response (fight, flight, freeze or fawn) and concrete next steps grounded in peer-reviewed research.

Your answers stay in your browser. Nothing is sent or saved anywhere.

Important: this is an educational self-assessment, not a clinical diagnosis of you or of anyone else.
