I too had a change of psych's last year and more recently a new psychiatrist in April this year. After five years with a psychologist he told me he couldn't help me anymore, so out of the blue, he just came out and told me. Well of course you can imagine how I felt. So i had to find a new therapist. i did find someone else and it was very difficult going into a new place, speaking to someone new and starting again. i felt like i had to rehash the whole story again from scratch. and i had to relive it again. but the psychologist was really good and didn't want to stir things too much.
Changing psych's in april was my choice and that was difficult too.
I think go in tomorrow thinking that this new one is nervous too just like you. If he/she reads your notes that ou have sent fine but if they haven't and they may not have time to do that; well that's okay. Just givde them the basic story and not go into detail. And tell them, tell them you can't go into the details of your story in the first session. I am sure they will understand. And they will know that you will be nervous as it's your first session.
I am thinking of you right as you are struggling, i wish there was something i could do for you.
Sending you a big warm hug, love your friend
