A Peek Into Your Nervous System
Take the Quiz and Begin Your Journey Into Your Nervous System’s State!
Your nervous system determines how you respond to stress, connection, and safety. When it’s regulated, you can navigate life’s challenges with more flexibility. When it’s dysregulated, you might feel stuck in patterns of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.
This free quiz will help you locate your nervous system’s current state—right here, right now.
What You’ll Discover:
By answering 10 simple questions, you’ll find out whether you’re:
Predominantly Dysregulated with High Masking→ Apparently functioning outwardly but overwhelmed beneath the surface.
Predominantly Dysregulated in Burnout → Struggling both internally and externally, feeling easily flooded or shut down.
Predominantly Regulated and Anchored→ Feeling balanced and adaptable, with space for connection and recovery.
Why This Matters:
Your nervous system state affects:
Your energy levels – Are you able to mobilize and engage in activities and tasks or are you stuck in fatigue and brain fog?
Your emotional patterns – Are you chronically dissociated? Stuck in anxiety or depression? Or do you feel flexibly able to notice and use emotional data?
Your relationships – Are you open to vulnerability and closeness? Can you feel connection? Do you mask discomfort or avoid connection altogether?
When you locate your nervous system’s current state, you begin to gain insight into your patterns—and the first step toward transformation is awareness.
Who Is This Quiz For?
This quiz is designed for neurodivergent folks and trauma survivors who want to better understand how their nervous system is operating. If you function from a predominantly disembodied and intellectual place, you probably have a hard time identifying your state on a moment-to-moment basis. This quiz will help you identify your current state with compassion and clarity.
