Absolutely! I think we all go through times where we feel fed up with therapy, wonder what the point is, get burn out mostly. I think that's a good time to take a break and see what impact therapy was really having on your life. Quitting cold turkey would be like trying to stop an addiction all of a sudden. The withdrawals are horrible and you end up in a worse place and we don't want that. We have come too far to get to where we are at now. So try it slowly, space your sessions further apart, then cancel some, if things are okay for you then stop. Or find a new T with some fresh new ideas.
