T's are used to these first sessions, taking the lead, asking the questions to get the client to open up, making the client feel at ease. Your T will know what to do. Just try to be honest and know in advance what you will say if this question is asked, "what brings you here today?" I don't think you need to talk about your diagnoses, but instead focus on your problems and issues and what you need help with.
