My therapist recently (unexpectedly, painfully, cravenly) ended my therapy via email. In her email, she gave me a referral to another therapist. Since I could not discuss this with my ex-therapist, I don't know anything about the referral therapist. I have emailed the referral and she has said she would work with me.

However, on reflection I want to explain more about my needs before I commit (emotionally and financially) to an initial session. I have written a draft email to the referral explaining my concerns/needs in more detail. I feel self-conscious that it is too detailed and exposing, but equally I want to be clear with her before I take the step of meeting her.

Would anyone be up for reading it and giving me their thoughts please? I am open to hearing negative as well as positive so don't feel you would need to sugar coat your feedback.
