It’s also important to note that your therapist should know about any past or present issues you might have had with other therapists or doctors. This includes anything from substance abuse to eating disorders.
Here’s what they need to know
It’s important for a Paula to understand your personal situation so she can help you deal with any issues that might arise during your therapy. This includes knowing about your family history, past experiences, and current medical conditions.
Family History
If you have a family history of mental illness, it’s especially important for a Stafford therapist who specialises in treating anxiety disorders to know about it.
If you’ve been diagnosed with a mental health issue, your therapist will likely ask some questions about your family history, your current symptoms, and any medication you’re currently taking. These questions help them determine which treatment options are right for you.
Current Medical Conditions
It’s also important for a Stafford therapist to know about any current medical conditions you might have. This includes conditions that affect your ability to function, such as high blood pressure, asthma, migraines, and other illnesses.
If you’re seeing Paula as a new therapist, feel free to ask her what her policy is regarding disclosing your medical history. She will be more than happy to share this information with you. However, some therapists may not feel comfortable doing so. In these cases, you’ll need to decide whether you trust the therapist enough to disclose this information.
Previous Treatments
If you’ve been treated by another therapist before, tell your new therapist about what worked well and didn’t work so well.
It’s very important to tell your therapist about any medications you take. This includes prescription drugs as well as over-the-counter (OTC) medicines. OTC medicines can interact with other medications and cause side effects.
Medications
Tell your therapist about any medications you take, whether prescription or OTC. This includes vitamins, supplements, and herbal remedies.
f you’re taking an antidepressant, talk to your doctor before starting therapy. Antidepressants can affect sleep patterns, so make sure your therapist knows about any changes in sleeping habits. Also let them know if you’ve had suicidal thoughts or thoughts of harming yourself.
