I wanted to take a break from my former therapist when we had a rupture and his response was that "it would be crazy to take a break from therapy now" (literally). He would not accept my intention and talked me out of it. But things just got worse and worse and eventually I left for good, not so much because of the fallout but because I no longer found him useful, I was just paying to have extra frustration in my life.

Never had a rupture with my current T (~6 months) but I am taking a break now (~1 month). I think that sometimes a bit of distance can do good.
