Let’s find out if that’s self-care… or strategic ghosting.

Because binge-watching trauma TikTok in your weighted blanket feels like healing, but is it really?

We all love a good “inner child” meme and a ritual bath. However, healing is more than candles and deleting your ex’s number (again). This quiz is your mirror: witty, a little savage, and painfully honest.

💭 Who This Quiz Is For:

• The over-thinkers, emotional escapists, and “I’m fine” professionals
• Anyone navigating grief, trauma, growth, or big transitions

🧪 Answer Key:

Mostly A’s: Buffering with Style, Avoidance Edition
You’re emotionally buffering like a pro. Your inner child is in a corner playing Candy Crush while the house burns. This isn’t judgment, bestie. It’s just a loving nudge that what looks like peace is numbing. Your nervous system needs a safe reentry plan.

Start small. Start real.

Mostly B’s: Healing-ish
You’ve got the tools… and social media. You’re in process, which is beautiful. But be honest. Are you giving yourself the structure and consistency to grow? Or are you just patching wounds with lavender oil and vibes? Time to commit to a nervous-system-friendly healing routine.

Mostly C’s: Doing the Damn Thing
Look at you, emotional Jedi. You’ve been in the trenches and made it through with your inner peace intact. You’re integrating. Keep going, but don’t forget: healing isn’t a destination. It’s a daily re-choosing.

🛍️ Invest in Your Healing Toolbox

Depending on where you landed, here are a few things worth investing in:

• A’s: Trauma-informed coaching, body-based therapy (like somatic experiencing), nervous system workbooks, dopamine-safe planners
• B’s: Guided journaling memberships, support groups, digital detox rituals, and boundary-setting challenges
• C’s: Mentorship containers, spiritual retreats, nervous system educator courses, and leadership coaching

💌 A Love Letter to You

Dear soul,
Even when you avoid, even when you freeze, even when you binge old patterns—you’re not broken. You’re human. Your nervous system is brilliant, even when it’s confused. You are allowed to outgrow who you were without rushing who you’re becoming. Rest isn’t failure. And healing isn’t a contest. You’re not behind. You’re just… breathing again. And that counts.

🎯 Final Word:

Healing isn’t aesthetic. It’s messy. It’s sobbing at 2 AM. You’re deleting the number you already memorized. You catch yourself in the act and choose differently, again.

This quiz wasn’t meant to shame you. It was meant to help you see yourself. Wherever you are is a valid stop on the map. But if you’re ready to move forward? Let’s recalibrate the route. 🧭✨

Take what you need. Leave the guilt. You’re already healing—now let’s make it intentional.
