psych eval?

I just met with a new therapist today and right out of the bat suggested I get a psych eval, in particular for my memory. But I feel nervous to do something so serious like that? Is this normal?
She says she wants to make sure she is treating my brain in particular. Not just guessing. But yeah, just seems like a fast thing to do I guess? idk..

As long as you are happy for did (or anything else) to be an official diagnosis then go for it. Her suggesting a psych eval means she thinks she has seen something and wants to run a differential diagnosis. Our irl partner went to therapy for ocd and autism, after the first session the therapist said its not autism about 3 sessions in the therapist said I need to do a full psych eval. Ended up irl partner has did with some alters having some tendencies of other conditions but not enough of them to warrant his initial diagnosis.

Your t wanting to run a psych eval shows she is observant and though rough. Just make sure you don't hide stuff cause if you mask your did in this then you are unlikely to get anyone taking you seriously about it in the future.

A psych eval is a good idea because if you ever have other stuff appart from DID messing with your memory, you can get treatment for that too instead of waiting until it gets worse.

Masking while doing the evaluation is definitely not a good idea. When we did our psych eval ahead of our diagnosis of autism, we hid our autism without thinking and it threw off the results; however, our psychologist was able to use them as a basis for our autism diagnosis and to eliminate that our DID isn't something else (even though that wasn't apparent or diagnosed until years after we started seeing her.)

Ok Thank you very much for the replies. I guess it just is a part of the process maybe. Yeah she seems observant.
