When ever i take a break from therapy then reenter with a new therapist one thing that helps me is that I sit down and write down

Why I need or want to be in therapy
what my problems are
A few ways to take care of those problems during and outside of therapy
What I have tried
what works and what doesn't and how it didn't work
my isurance card number
any questions that I want to ask the therapist such as
cost
homework
books
journaling
artwork

and so on.

This really comes in handy during those first few sessions because the therapist always ask me

why are you enterinbg therapy?
how can I help you?
What are your problems?
What kinds of things have you already done to take care of these problems? and how did that work out?
What do you think your goals for therapy should be?
