Background

What is the WAVE Concept?

The assessment covers 54 statements about typical dysfunctional beliefs across five thematic areas (domains). We call these beliefs „dysfunctional“ because they tend to hold you back rather than support you.

Creator of the WAVE concept and questions: Vantisgo Group, Dr. Frederik Hümmeke & Janine Kox. Used with kind permission of Dr. Frederik Hümmeke.
