Hello Mactastic-

I agree with Syra in that the question is how will a week off affect you? Will it be helpful for you to have that time or will it mean more time feeling anxious and upset? I do truly understand the feeling of wanting to not upset the therapist-I can empathize with that anxiety but I have come to know that the healing process is not a straight line. That means that there will be glitches and moments when we feel that we're going backwards or feeling like we slipped up-but it's all a part of the healing process. Any therapist worth their salt should know this fact. The important thing here is self-compassion (I'm constantly working on this myself-being able to have self-compassion) and how you are responding to whatever happened to cause you to feel that you slipped up. In other words-do what is best for you, what feels right for you.
