My T is a trauma expert and travels working with a national organization that deals with trauma. I know he has heard a lot of hard stories.
He has never, ever, EVER made me feel like my traumas weren't "important" or whatever. Even before we were in the really hard stuff. When he is with me, I feel like he is focused totally on me, my story, my needs, and not comparing me to anyone else. I think that's how a good therapist feels, and it sounds like your T is referring you to a really good therapist.
You don't have to do anything but be yourself, really and truly.
Moving is anxiety provoking. When I feel anxious, sometimes I find that I tend to pin all of my free-floating anxiety on one thing. I wonder if you are doing that with this new therapist? For me, it seems like it's "easier" to obsess about one concrete thing than the big swirly world that's all around me.
I like that your T has found such a good T for you. You deserve the very best
