Your brain will continue to work on the problems you've outlined, plus you get to have a little break (dare I say fun!) and you can come back with fresh eyes.
I believe it was Einstein that said "you can't solve a problem with the same mind that created it".
I say, go out, try and find a newer fresher mind. therapy will always be there.

EllieMay - good advice. Today I went for a swim and then to a coffee shop to try my hand at writing Haiku poetry. Took an instructional book and wrote my first dozen poems, all concentrating on the coffee shop scene and the signs of Spring. It was so so so much fun that I totally forgot about therapy issues.
So, I decided to call T and cancel my request that she return my call. My rational brain has gotten the upper hand right now and I know she does not want to terminate.
Horror upon horror, she answered the phone!!!! Never has that happened before. I've always felt free to call because I can just leave a message and not have to engage in conversation.
So, I told her I was calling to cancel my request and she asked me about Wednesday appointment. I said, "What?" Well, get this, she had been leaving me a message while I had begun to call her and our calls crossed each other.
She told me she had no intention or desire to terminate and she finds me delightful but since it seems like I have a lot (understatement
) on my mind, she is offering me an extra session next week since she had a cancellation.
I am so happy right now.
