For the following statements, please indicate your current thoughts and feelings about the person who hurt you. Use the rating scales to indicate your agreement with each statement.

Below is a list of emotions or behaviours that people sometimes experience after hurtful events. Please rate how often you have had each of these experiences in relation to the unforgiven event within the last two (2) weeks.

The following questions concern the CURRENT relationship you have with the person who hurt you, and the influence you have on each other. Please answer the items in regards to how you currently interact with this person in your relationship, and how satisfied you are with these interactions.

Every relationship is different and there are no right or wrong answers, so please be as honest in your responses.

Listed below are a number of values people may support in their lives. These values have been divided into two lists. For both lists, please rate the importance of each value as a guiding principle in your life. To assist with clarification, a brief definition of the key principle follows each value.

For each list, before rating please read the entire list and rate both the value that is MOST important to you and the value that is LEAST important to you, or the one you are most opposed to. Then go back over the list and rate the remainder of the values, using the least/most important items as a reference point.

There are no right or wrong answers, so try to answer as honestly as possible.
