Stage 1 of 5 — Where You Are Now

Let's start with
how you feel.

No right answers. Just honest ones. Select everything that resonates — even if it feels like too much.

Which of these feel true for you right now?
I'm exhausted in a way sleep doesn't fix
I feel like I'm always performing for others
I've achieved a lot but still feel empty
I don't know who I am outside of what I do
I say yes when I mean no — constantly
I feel responsible for everyone else's feelings
I'm angry underneath but can't show it
I feel safest when I'm useful
I'm waiting to feel like enough
I've lost myself somewhere along the way
I'm afraid of what stillness might bring up
I feel fragmented — different versions in different spaces

How long have you felt this way?
A few months
A year or two
Most of my adult life
As long as I can remember
I'd rather not say
Stage 2 of 5 — What You've Carried

Things you may have
carried quietly.

This section asks about experiences that shape us — often without us realizing how much. You never have to answer anything. "I'd rather not say" is always an option and your results will still be meaningful.

Early losses and instability

Which of these were part of your story growing up?

Lost a parent or primary caregiver
Parents divorced or separated
Felt you had to earn love or approval
Were the responsible one — the fixer or caretaker
Grew up in an unpredictable or chaotic household
Were told your feelings were too much
Learned to hide what you really felt
Experienced emotional neglect or felt invisible
I'd rather not say

Experiences that left a mark

Have any of these been part of your life — at any age?

You only need to acknowledge what feels true. No details required.
Betrayal by someone you deeply trusted
A relationship that made you question your reality
Loving someone who couldn't fully show up for you
Carrying a secret that felt too heavy to share
A sudden loss — job, relationship, identity, home
Public failure or loss of reputation
Violation of your body or boundaries
Years of giving more than you received
I'd rather not say

How resolved does it feel?

When you think about the hardest things you've been through — how much have you been able to process or put down?

Still very raw 3 Mostly resolved
Stage 3 of 5 — What Your Body Is Saying

Your body has been
keeping record.

The body communicates what the mind refuses to process. These aren't random symptoms. They're messages. Select anything your body has been expressing — persistently, inexplicably, or recently.

Physical patterns you've noticed
Chronic digestive issues, IBS, nausea, bloating
Throat tightness, frequent throat issues, voice loss
Hair thinning, loss, or changes
Skin conditions — eczema, hives, rashes, sensitivity
Dental issues, jaw tension, grinding teeth
Autoimmune conditions or unexplained inflammation
Thyroid issues or hormonal disruption
Chronic fatigue, burnout, adrenal exhaustion
Heart palpitations, chest tightness, anxiety attacks
Chronic neck, shoulder, or upper back tension
Sleep issues — can't fall asleep or stay asleep
Unexplained weight changes or body image shifts
I'd rather not say
None of these currently
Stage 4 of 5 — Patterns of Escape

How have you been
managing the weight?

Sometimes the body finds relief through behavior rather than sensation. These patterns are never flaws — they were intelligent survival strategies. Have any of these been part of your story?

Patterns of escape or numbing
This includes current patterns and past ones. Someone else's addiction shapes us just as much as our own.
Workaholism — using achievement to feel safe
Alcohol — using it to decompress or feel normal
Substances — using them to feel or to stop feeling
Gambling — the rush, the escape, the control it offers
Sex or pornography — using intimacy to fill a void
Food — eating to comfort, restrict, or punish
Shopping or spending — acquiring to feel worthy
Gaming or screens — disappearing to feel in control
Relationships — using love to feel real or complete
A parent or partner had significant addiction issues
I'd rather not say
None of these apply

How long have these patterns been present?
Recently — past year or so
Several years
Most of my adult life
Since childhood or adolescence
I'd rather not say
Stage 5 of 5 — Almost There

A few final
questions.

These last questions help us understand where you are in your process — not just what happened, but how alive it still is.

What are you hoping to understand?
Why I keep repeating the same patterns
Why my body keeps breaking down
Why I can't seem to put myself first
Why I feel so disconnected from myself
Why relationships feel so hard or unsafe
What my next chapter actually looks like

Have you ever worked with a therapist or coach?
Yes — and it helped significantly
Yes — but something still feels unresolved
No — but I'm ready to
No — and I'm not sure yet
I'd rather not say

One last thing

If you could say one thing about what you're carrying that you haven't been able to say out loud — what would it be?

This is optional. Anything you share helps personalize your results. Or leave it blank.

Reading what you've shared and translating it into your Personal Body Map™...

This takes about 30 seconds
