About Us

If you've ever felt that your past affects your present in ways you can't name, you're not alone. We created this safe space to help you find clarity and validation on your healing journey.

A Path to Understanding

Cptsdtest.com was founded on the belief that understanding is the first step toward healing. We saw a need for a resource that could help individuals privately explore the complex effects of long-term trauma, using a scientifically-grounded framework like the ICD-11 ITQ, but without the clinical pressure or fear of judgment.

Early 2024 — A Seed of Purpose

The idea for Cptsdtest.com was born from the need for a safe, scientifically-backed space where individuals could privately explore the impacts of long-term trauma.

June 2025 — Opening the Doors

The platform launches, offering the free, anonymous, and ITQ-based CPTSD test to a global audience, with a core focus on a clear and validating user experience.

September 2025 — Deeper, Personalized Insights

We introduce our optional AI-powered reports, transforming screening results into a personalized guide for deeper self-understanding, while always emphasizing this is not a diagnosis.

The 2026 Outlook

Our focus is on creating more educational resources, expanding language support, and continuing to be a trustworthy first step for survivors on their healing journey.
