I just desperately wish that i could close the lid on all of this emotional stuff, and forget it all.

It doesn't sound stupid! Applying it to ourselves means facing the fact it happened and that's hard.
I was struck by the fact that you said you want to take a week off so you learn to rely on yourself and not your T. If you were at a different point in your therapy I might say different but I'm not at all convinced you should take a week off. Is this really what you want - or what you think you should want?
Does taking a week off mean the stuff goes away, or will it leave you alone with the stuff? I am just asking these questions to ensure you think about what you want, everyone is different but I know if I took a week off in this situation I would simply be sabotaging myself.
