I've been on a trip for a few weeks and then had food poisoning so went several weeks without seeing T. I'm finally feeling better and had a session today, and he said "great job!" at the end. I've been seeing him weekly for over a year and he's never said that before. I didn't do anything differently today.

I did send him a few emails while away, but not as many as usual, so he got a decent break from me. I feel like the compliment "great job" came from renewed energy after working with me (I know I can be exasperating). Maybe I should plan breaks every few months? I feel so connected to him, I feel like his energy toward me has shifted. I also feel less angry at him so maybe the break was good for me too.

Does anyone here take breaks periodically to reset?
