Just be yourself. Relax. Breathe. Try to let yourself get a sense of the therapist and whether you would like to continue. Does it feel right?

The therapist will want to know what brings you to therapy, so be prepared to say why you are there. If you might forget, write it down. The therapist will want to know this partly to help him assess whether his expertise and training is a good match to your needs.

Unless your case is really complicated, there is probably no need for record sharing with the old T. The new T can just ask you what he needs to know.

Good luck!
