Hi everyone,

My name is Scarlet and I am new here. I am 19 years old, from Ohio. I began therapy for the first time a few months ago. My therapist now wants me to get a consultation with someone else to look into dissociation. I am not sure what I am expecting from this board, it is just that I don't have anyone to talk to about this besides my T, and I guess I am just looking for a bit of advice or feedback. I have a fear of doctors, and I am a bit nervous to see this new psychiatrist. I know I want to figure out what is wrong with me, but I would also like to know what to expect.

So basically I am going for a consultation to see if my issue is dissociation. This came about because of my "hearing" voices in my head, seeing people in my head, feeling unreal, and having some disorientation. We are not looking into medication. Can anyone tell me what a consultation with a psychiatrist for dissociation would be like? I think I might feel a little better if I knew what to expect.

Thanks!
