A map inward. A return to self. A poetic reflection of the healing path meant for you.
Take this healing archetype quiz to discover the psychological and spiritual patterns that guide your unique path toward growth and transformation.
Full disclosure: these archetypes are essentially every version of myself I’ve met on the healing path.
The quiz is a highly subjective take on human experience. Call it “phenomenological” if you want to be fancy or think of it as a virtual mood ring if that’s more your style.
Feel free to take the quiz as many times as you like. None of these character types are permanent or binding, but you might just meet your shadow.
Meet your healing archetype.
See which part of yourself is showing up today.
A healing archetype is a symbolic blueprint—a combination of your patterns, responses, and longings—that shapes how you grow, relate, and heal. Understanding your archetype can help you find an approach to therapy that works with your natural tendencies.
This quiz is designed for anyone seeking greater self-understanding, curious about therapy, healing, or personal growth.
It’s intended to be a guide to finding a therapeutic approach that works with your natural tendencies — and hopefully sparks some self reflection along the way.
Your responses and results are completely private and confidential. No email signup or personal information is required. The only data collected is the timestamp.
You’ll receive a microdose of insight into your healing archetype, along with resources to begin your therapeutic journey. The page will redirect you to the therapeutic style that likely suits you best.
