Please, try not to compare your therapist with the reports of others who report nurturing, mothering therapists. A couple weeks ago, I asked my therapist about all these attachment stories I read about. She said that some approaches, like re-parenting, are why she delayed becoming a therapist (I guess it was popular in the 70's and 80's). I said that it doesn't sound like it ends well, and she said, "It doesn't end."
Your therapist sounds like she's looking out for your interests here. I hope the break does you good and that you can get back to therapy (or not) with the focus on your life.
