Directions If an event mentioned above has occurred in the past year, or is expected in the near

 

future, copy the number in the score column. If the event has occurred or is expected to occur

 

more than once, multiply this number by the frequency of the event. Scoring The Life Change Index

become used to, can cause needless stress, throwing your whole physical being into

 

turmoil.
