The Post-Traumatic Stress Symptom Tracker on the Journey to Recovery website is an essential tool for counselors working with clients who have experienced trauma. This six-page PDF helps clients assess the intensity and frequency of PTSD symptoms, providing valuable insights into their current condition. By tracking these symptoms, clients can better understand their experiences, while counselors can tailor treatment strategies to address their specific needs, promoting effective recovery and long-term well-being
Developed by Dr. Hal Baumchen, PsyD, LP, LADC, this tracker is formatted for easy daily or weekly use. Clients complete it independently between sessions and bring it in for review, giving clinicians a concrete picture of what’s happening outside the office – patterns and triggers a single-session snapshot can miss.
How clinicians use it: for symptom monitoring over time, to identify triggers that inform the treatment plan, to measure progress with real data rather than recall, and as a shared clinical record completed by the client and reviewed together.
