Assessment process! Help!

[Sunsetdays]

We are beginning our assessment and I have shocked myself by how difficult I am finding it. I find the whole thing so uncomfortable. It feels like counselling by a judgemental counsellor!! I completely understand it needs to be thorough but it’s my reaction to it that’s causing me difficulties. Did anyone else find it challenging or is it just me??

What kind of stuff are you struggling with, like which bits?

yes it is relatively invasive but these people are looking to place kids who will often be damaged and they need to know about your background, values and some of the the things that have shaped you including difficult events. If you want to do it then you are going to have to be open about these things. Its just the process and there is no way around it.
