Is it normal to be afraid of the psychological evaluation?

Under no circumstance is it strange to feel fear or apprehension before any psychological evaluation. They’re scary. Layer on top of that the vulnerability of laying your psyche out for someone to assess, and add in the knowledge that your assessor is also a gatekeeper between you and something very very important. If you’ve made it this far, you’ve probably been exposed to the message that feelings aren’t real or unreal, valid or invalid, they just are. Your fear is emotional evidence that what you are doing is from the heart and genuinely matters to you. If you need proof that you’re doing the right thing, well, your feelings ARE that proof. So go ahead and be afraid, but keep following what you feel is right. Courage isn’t the absence of fear, it’s determination in the face of fear.

 

I haven't had an official psychological evaluation but I went to see an LGBT friendly counselor when I first started feeling that I might be transgender. I felt the same way you do. What if I'm just having some weird midlife crisis?? You're definitely not alone!
I don't know what the evaluation will entail but just speak your truth and everything will be fine.
