We just kind of left it at "I'll see you when and if I need to down the road." I checked in with him in early July in a session just to touch base, but since then I really haven't had the need for a session. We've touched base via phone and recently he emailed me (we were really discussing some serious med issues I was seeing with my husband and trying to figure out how to proceed), so he knows how I'm doing. He would have no problem if I decided that I needed to come in for a 50,000 mile tune-up; I wouldn't have to ask permission to do so or anything. It works for us. Kind of like it this way; no drama over terminating -- just a natural progression in our working relationship together.
Thanks Lola, I think that's exactly the point I have reached in my therapy journey. Its been 4 wonderful and tremendously helpful years with my T, but the relief and happiness I felt at having a 6 week break kind of says it all. I was starting to feel like therapy was an appointment that I didn't want to attend every week.

I am definitely going to discuss this with my T on Monday.

In 1 way it feels great, but I am also a little bit sad.
