Hi Pinkcell,

I can understand why you are feeling anxious. I always get really nervous before any kind of psychological evaluation / intake assessment, although I've done so many now, that you'd think I'd be used to it by now.

Probably it will be a person asking you a series of set questions - they probably won't show too much emotion, as you answer.

My best advice is to be as honest as you can, because that's the best way to get help. Remind yourself that the person is there to help you, I find that helps me.

If you're worried about old emotions being stirred up is there someone you can arrange to call immediately after the evaluation just to talk to in case you're upset. I arranged that with my sponsor for after an intake assessment I had last week.

Good luck with it, and let us know how it goes.
