So in a way the break was good because I was able to get on with my life again in a normal way(not obsessing about therapy) but in another way I fell apart. I would thing long and hard about taking another break until I know I am stable and able to cope with my emotions on my own.
I can relate to those feelings you are experiencing especially the exhaustion and only you know what is best for you. If you are feeling like you are in a therapy burnout a break can be great and really tell you where you are in your self healing

Thanks, I am trying to weigh my stability vs. my frustration...of course, I can get in to see the new person fairly quickly if I need to if I do take a break. I guess if I take a break I want something good to come from it, to get some priorities in order, and go back when I am ready and not in a panic...and feel like a failure.
