Psycho consultation - any info?

I am going for my pschiatry consultation tomorow - what should I expect?

Expect to be there for a long time.....3 hours for the first part of it. Who are you going to? I had a pretty bad experience with my Psych visit...they made me do almost 2 months of group counseling because Im an emotional eater...well duh..thats why im fat..hellooo..lol..so whatever you do...dont tell them your an emotional eater...LOL...

 

Good luck..its really not that bad....im just a big baby

LOL.  Thanks for the info. So, do they ask all kinds of questions about hearing voices and seeing ghost's and believing in them? I had a psych eval years ago, and man, it seemed as if they were tossing out manipulative questions. Is this still true even during this one?  If they do, oh boy... can't wait!  LMAO ~Dawn

Thanks for the usefull information and for the good luck

I dont remember her asking if I believe in ghosts..lol..but they throw some good ones atcha....listen carefully and take your time answering...lol....

I get angry when questions are tossed out to me and they are double loaded ones. You know the ones you answer with Damned if you do, and damned if you don't, attitude.

Hi Kim,

 The most important thing is really to just be yourself and answer truthfully.

If you really want the surgery to work for you, then they will need address any issues that you have before the operation.  If you don't follow the directions after your surgery then you will just be back to sqare one eventually.

Yes, Dawn in the questionaire that you rec'v they ask wacky questions.  Here are some, I got ....................

Do you hear voices? Do you see people that no one else can see? Do you think that someone is trying to control you?  I had a good laugh at some of the questions.

It really was not as bad as I expected at all.

Thanks, Paula

 

Paula,

   A good laugh indeed, but what does someone of my status tell them? I'm very intuitive and my abilities sometimes allows me to do, see, and hear many  things that no one else can, except for the select few in this world.   I talk to dead people!! (Don't go freaking out on me now!)    What on earth is that going to do for me??? I'm a paranormal investigator... I deal with the supernatural in a scientific envirement. LOL  I don't have a problem speaking about my line of work, but when it comes to Psychotherapist's, it's a; will they think I'm insane? Like most in any community  

In any every day situation, I can at least educate people about the astral plaine vs. physical plaine... but I won't be dealing with just any typical indiviual, I am dealing with a Nut Dr. LOL 

Paula, I've been through this psycho interview before.. it wasn't pleasant to hear all those questions... most of my responses to them were along the lines of answer the question with a question. I really am concerned about this. People researching and investigating paranormal phenomena is becoming an extremely wide spread community.
Like I said, damned if you do, damned if you don't.    There is no balance when it comes to this field. ~Dawn

Dawn, I had my psych in April.  While not in your class, I describe myself sometimes as "sensitive."  So I told them that & relayed an experience.  I believe that they are seeing if there is a differentiation between your ability & a psychosis.  Hopefully, none of your voices or spirits are directing you to hurt yourself or anyone else.  I tried to answer their written questions honestly, but they didn't even refer to them when I went in.  They just asked me a whole other set of questions.  Instead of just "yes" or "no," I think that I'd try to add written remarks.   They want to pass you, they're just looking to see if there is anything that might affect your progress or lead you down the path to other addictions. I really don't believe that you will encourage any difficulty, but I would tread cautiously & lightly and you seem to have some experience doing so.

Again, I don't think that you will encourage any problems with this.  Stay positive. Hey, if we were all totally sane, we wouldn't be meeting with them! Good luck!  Eileen

 

 

Thanks for your input islander. I am not hearing little voices telling me to hurt myself. LOL But that was a huge concern on how to approach the psych dr's with all that i am. I too do not label myself as Psychic but a Sensitive, even though there really is no difference LOL  I definitely will be cautious. Glad to have people who understand this topic from my perspective.
