The Scale of Safety.

Nervous System State Survey

Your Nervous System State

Now that we’ve explored how connecting with our green zone and mixing it with other states can create more harmony, let’s take a moment to check in with the state of our own nervous systems.

The following Scale of Safety is designed to give you a snapshot of how regulated and connected you’ve felt over the past week. Please answer the following questions as you reflect on how you have felt over the last seven days.

Remember, this isn't a test. It is a tool for exploration and only gives you a score based on your week, last week. It is a snapshot in time of how your nervous system is and does not define who you are or how your nervous system is permanently. You can revisit these questions over time to get an updated snapshot of your nervous systems activation. This might help you to match the signals you are getting from your body with the potential state of your nervous system.

For each statement below, think about your experiences over the past week. Select the number that best reflects how often you felt that way.

Use the following scale:

1 Never

2 Rarely

3 Sometimes

4 Often

5 Very Often
