Hi everyone,

One thing that I struggled with a lot over the years is:

1. Finding the therapist that was the right fit for me
2. Struggling to talk about my demons, especially over time (I'm more tight-lipped than a clam)

Personally, I think I would prefer my therapist know from the get go who I am and what baggage I have. That way they can also let you know if they think they're the right fit for you.

I have seen some of my therapist friends and acquaintances feel guilty when they need to refer a patient to someone else, and I have also heard some friends and acquaintances talk about how much it hurts when a therapist they've been seeing for a while refer them to someone else.

I got really good feedback from my circle about how helpful this was, so I wanted to share this with you all too.

To help, I fleshed it out with fake info to get an idea. **Potential trigger warning as it talks a bit about bullying, stalking, mental and emotional abuse.**

The documents are:

1. [The resume](https://smallpdf.com/shared#st=a7a3d010-af67-4359-a9d2-3781d86c3c58&amp;fn=Patient+Resume+Sample.docx&amp;ct=1623151443815&amp;tl=share-document&amp;rf=link)
2. [A sort of cover letter](https://smallpdf.com/shared#st=8a977787-7b16-4d1b-ba8c-2ddb70e652f9&amp;fn=Cover+Letter+for+Therapy.docx&amp;ct=1623151388262&amp;tl=share-document&amp;rf=link)

The forms are completely customizable, so feel free to edit as you please. I hope you get some good use out of this and it helps you and serves as a spring-board of sorts.
