Self-report measures of different features of reliving experiences that trauma-exposed people may have

The Experiences of Traumatic Memories (ETMQ) was developed to measure different features of reliving experiences that trauma-exposed people may have.
There are two initial questions asking about the nature of a person's flashback experiences, followed by eight items asking about the individual’s phenomenological experiences when having a flashback.
The ETMQ is freely available in the public domain to all interested parties.
The Trauma Identity Questionnaire (TIQ) was developed to measure the different types of negative identities that are outlined in the Memory and Identity Theory of ICD-11 Complex PTSD.
The TIQ can be used in several ways, depending on need. The TIQ includes 21 items measuring different negative identities.
Factor analytic work indicates that these items reflect four negative identities: Vulnerable’ self (items 1-6), ‘Inferior’ self (items 7-9), ‘Disconnected from others’ (items 10-15), ‘Fragmented’ self (items 16-21)
The ITQ is freely available in the public domain to all interested parties.


The Pre-Reflective Experiences Questionnaire (PREQ) was developed to measure common experiential states and msensory experiences associated with psychopathology.
It includes 9 items, and initial factor analytic works indicates that the items are unidimensional in nature and can be measured independently of other related constructs such as dissociation, traumatic memories, negative identities, and psychological distress.
The key developmental study is currently under review.
The PREQ is freely available in the public domain to all interested parties.
