My intake was required in order to be a client of the county clinic. I also have to see their Pdoc while there. I doubt yours will be the same if you're going through a private T.

My intake covered everything. Basic info (name, address, phone, etc.), emergency contacts, current meds, past meds, diagnoses, family medical history, my other doctors' contact info, synptoms, etc. It took us over an hour and she didn't even fill half the paperwork out because I had already printed it all up! But the T was nice and didn't make me go into any details that I wasn't comfortable with. She just wanted to know the general things.

I hope someone can give you their experience through a private T's DBT group.

My suggestion is to write everything up (like the contact info, meds if you take any, etc.) so you don't get stressed trying to come up with those non-emotional type answers.

If you don't mind forms, maybe she has a form for you to fill out to also take some of the stress off of you?
