I've been at it for years too (almost 20!), and certainly have felt that way from time to time. I feel like it's okay to take breaks from therapy when I hit a plateau or felt like it wasn't what I needed at that point in my life. I've done that a few times, and it seems to help a little when I come back to it, because I have a fresh perspective. Sometimes I've also switched therapists for the same reason. I've even taken breaks as long as a couple years a couple of times.
