When a stressful event still echoes through your thoughts, sleep, or reactions, it can be hard to describe what the past week has been like. The IES-R Impact of Event Workbook offers a calm way to answer the 22-item scale about one specific event and the past seven days. It gives you room to pause, use a brief label for the event, and note what you observe without having to retell the story.
The 31-page pack is supplied as PDF files in both A4 and US Letter. The 3-page Start Here section explains a first sitting and a suggested six-week path. The 5-page Measures file contains the questionnaire, step-by-step scoring, a fictional example, and a result record. Ten worksheet pages cover grounding, event naming, response patterns, support, and a hard-day plan. Four tracker pages include a score chart and log, a seven-day noticing log, and a weekly review. Two quick-reference pages, a 3-page Reading Guide, a 2-page Professional Guide, and a 1-page Credits and References file complete the pack.
Begin with one rating and use only the pages that feel manageable. Over the suggested six weeks, you can revisit the scale, record new totals, and compare snapshots of different seven-day periods; the trackers are designed to be printed again. The score is a reflection point, not a diagnosis or verdict, and the guide explains the limits of the studied reference. You finish with a paper record of your ratings, observations, and possible next steps to keep for yourself or discuss with a professional.
What you get
- Score the 22-item IES-R with three cluster sums, a 0-to-88 total, and a fictional worked example.
- Use the Start Here pages to pace a first sitting and follow an optional six-week path.
- Explore Intrusion, Avoidance, and Hyperarousal patterns with ten focused worksheets and small-step planning pages.
- Plot later ratings on the repeatable score history chart and log, alongside a seven-day noticing log.
- Keep the Quick Reference cards and read how the 33 reference is limited in the Reading Guide.
What it is not
For educational self-reflection only, not diagnosis or treatment, and not a substitute for professional care. The IES-R was developed by Daniel S. Weiss and Charles R. Marmar. Personal purchasers may print and reuse pages for themselves; professionals may reproduce client-facing pages for their own clients. Wider group, classroom, or institutional use needs a separate license.
Questions people ask
How is the IES-R scored in this workbook?
Rate each of the 22 items from 0 to 4 for one event during the past seven days. Add the ratings for a total from 0 to 88; the workbook also shows sums for Intrusion, Avoidance, and Hyperarousal. Its guide explains that the reference of 33 is not a universal cutoff or diagnosis.
Can I print the IES-R workbook on A4 or US Letter paper?
Yes. The pack's PDF files are provided in both A4 and US Letter, with matching page counts. The complete set is 31 pages: a cover, Start Here, measures, worksheets, trackers, quick reference, guides, and credits. Repeatable tracker and worksheet pages can be printed again for personal use.
How often should I repeat the IES-R?
The workbook's suggested path includes later ratings in weeks four and six, and its Quick Reference advises waiting a week or more and using similar conditions. Each rating describes the past seven days, so compare it as a snapshot of a different week, not as a verdict.
