We will mostly need to know specific information about the problem you are wanting us to help you with. What is the presenting problem, how long have you dealt with this or when did it start, how severe do you perceive the problem to be, how often does this problem affect you, how does it affect your ability to function in daily life. We will ask you other more general questions about your life experiences, such as any history of trauma, history and current substance use, family history and social history. However, if you are uncomfortable talking about any of these things you can always let your provider know you do not want to talk about things that are too sensitive or that you feel are not relevant.
