You may look functional on the outside and still feel overloaded on the inside.
Â
Maybe you are getting through your days, but it feels harder than it should.
You feel tense, easily thrown off, emotionally flooded, shut down, exhausted, or like your body never fully settles.
You may already understand your patterns. You may have done therapy. You may know a lot about stress and trauma.
And still, in real life, your body reacts before your insight can catch up.
If that sounds familiar, this quiz is a good place to start.
This is for you if…
âť— You often feel overwhelmed, on edge, reactive, or shut down
âť— You have a hard time relaxing, even when nothing is wrong
âť— You feel disconnected from your body or unsure what you need
âť— You want practical help, not just more information
❗ You are looking for a gentle yet effective way to engage in somatic work
This is not about labeling you.
This quiz is not a diagnosis.
It is a simple way to reflect on how much your system may be carrying right now and to help you better understand what may be contributing to your overwhelm.
The goal is not to pathologize you.
The goal is to help you make sense of what you are experiencing.
After the quiz, you’ll get your result and a clear next step.
Based on your score, you’ll see what your result may mean and what kind of support may be most useful right now.
You’ll also be invited to a free live training where Allie will break down two of the biggest drivers of overwhelm: load and capacity.
That way, you do not just get a score.
You get context.
