Sounds like you are making a difficult transition with a lot of courage and hope. That's fantastic. When I switched therapists I did the full intake all over. Actually because the new therapist had a different point of view and different style, I didn't mind the process of going over things I had already gone over. The new therapist approached them so differently that I gained from going through some of this stuff again.

Now we don't do that anymore. It was just in the beginning when he was trying to understand the basic things about me and wanted to hear them from me rather than rely on notes. The notes can be helpful and not have to make it feel like you are starting all over. But some of the process in establishing a new relationship was my therapist honest interest in hearing it directly from me rather than relying on colleagues (who were actually close friends of his) and so it showed some respect and response to my direct experience, which I was able to take in new ways since his approach was so different.

I wish you the best of luck. It sounds like you feel ready and able to do this.
