Hi y'all...psych eval question
Tonight I had my first nutrition class at St. Francis. Tomorrow I have to get bloodwork done and make an appointment with a therapist for the psych evaluation. Before I do that, does anyone have a recommendation? They gave us a list of 3 people to see, but we can also see our own. Just wanted to know who others saw and what their experiences were like. Do you usually just meet with the person once or what? Thanks!
I did not go through the St Francis program but wanted to share my experience with you. Bascially my evaluation went like this. Sat for an hour just talking. Was asked why I wanted to do this. What plans I had in place for eating, menus, etc. Had I told my family? Were they supportive? (I did not tell my family and explained why - they were against it overall and I didn't want the negative energy surrounding me on this). Have I ever been depressed? Did I think I was now.. etc etc. I was upfront and honest with all the questions. Explained where I thought my struggles would be and where I thought I would do fine. The hour ended and it was done. And I passed.
It was very conversational and the easiest part of the entire process for me.
Best of luck to you!
