I know what I should do is tell her these things, but I am not capable of doing this right now. Maybe I just don't want to take that risk right now.

(((Lemon))) With my first counselor I remember having times that I did not want to work in therapy. I think especially when you are depressed, it is hard sometimes to get up the energy to work. I understand about not feeling "capable."

I miss our conversations, but I'm not ready to open up more to her and our sessions are frustrating without me doing something to move them forward.

When you miss them enough, you can go back. Sessions can be frustrating when they don't move forward. It's like, what's the point? And if you don't have the energy to try "fixing" things, then a break from therapy could actually be helpful. I had that with my counselor and ended up taking a 4 month break from her while I took a vacation from thinking about my problems. I just needed some down time from therapy and life. I then went back to her for about 3 sessions and realized I was probably never going to move forward with her. She had outlived her "usefulness" to me (as a therapist). I needed something different. My 4 month break helped give me som perspective so I could see that. So I just stopped going to see her, with no explanation. She never called me back either.

I think if you want to go back, then call and make an appointment. If not, perhaps you could ease your mind a bit by calling her and telling her you are taking a break from therapy right now but will contact her later when you are ready to return.
