Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test looks at your real access to sources of comfort: the room you have to take care of yourself, the ways you have of coping with physical symptoms, the inner supports available to you, and whether you can actually ask for help. The report maps out each of these resources and the obstacles that get in their way.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 63 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book The Practical CBT Guide, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.
If you have a question about your report, write to us at contact@psychologieetserenite.com: a psychotherapist will reply within 48 hours.

QUICK ANSWER
How can I better cope with perimenopause? — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test looks at your real access to sources of comfort: taking care of yourself, coping with discomfort, inner supports, and outside support. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 14 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This interactive test looks at your real access to sources of comfort during perimenopause: taking care of yourself, coping with physical symptoms, inner supports, turning to support, and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Taking care of yourself If, between your obligations and things at home, you don't have time to take care of yourself. If, even in busy weeks, you set aside some time just for yourself. Coping with physical symptoms If, when it comes to hot flashes and sleepless nights, you feel helpless and out of options. If you know what brings relief: a fan, light clothing, a glass of cold water. Inner supports If you blame yourself for being tired, and that leaves you with nothing to lean on. If, on heavy days, you speak to yourself gently instead of blaming yourself. Turning to support If asking for help takes so much effort that you keep putting off picking up the phone. If you have people close to you to talk to about what perimenopause is putting you through. Readiness to change If what you have just described weighs on your daily life. If you want to change the way you function day to day.
About this test
▼
Dimensions assessed
- ●How you see your ability to get through this period- How you explain your ability to get through perimenopause, before the test tells you anything. This section does not measure any difficulty and does not produce a level: it simply records your initial view.
- ●Taking care of yourself- What you actually have available to take care of yourself: time, energy, means. Added to this is the permission you give yourself, often the scarcest of the four resources.
- ●Coping with the discomforts- The ways you have found to cope with what your body is putting you through. What is measured is this personal repertoire, as well as the situations where nothing comes to mind.
- ●Inner supports- What you lean on inside yourself to keep your balance. What counts here is the way you talk to yourself on difficult days.
- ●Access to support- The help available around you and what it costs you to turn to it. These two points are measured separately: having people around you and allowing yourself to ask them are two different things.
- ●Openness to talking about it- Where you stand at the time of the test: how much room this period takes up in your life and your wish to change the way you do things.

Why take this test?
▼
This test looks at your real access to sources of comfort: the room you have to take care of yourself, the ways you have of coping with physical symptoms, the inner supports available to you, and whether you can actually ask for help. The report maps out each of these resources and the obstacles that get in their way.
The questionnaire explores 5 areas: How you see your ability to get through this period, Taking care of yourself, Coping with the discomforts, Inner supports, Access to support. Your answers support reflection, not a diagnosis. A separate module explores readiness to change; it is not another trait of the model presented.

Read this test’s introduction and dimensions to check whether they match your situation. Answer from the perspective specified in the instructions.
Can I retake the test later?
▼
Yes, you can retake this test as many times as you wish. Some people take it again after several months to observe how their profile evolves. Each new attempt generates its own report — previous answers are not reused.
What should I do with my results?
▼
The report organises your answers and offers points for reflection. You can discuss it with a professional; it does not replace their assessment or prescribe treatment.
Can people close to me also take it?
