Don't you just love how therapists make so much money from their attached patients that they're able to abandon them for months at a time and still keep them hanging on? You've paid her for five months, and in return you're going to go through two months of therapy withdraw. It will hurt.

Odds are she's not offering the contact over the break for your benefit, by the way. She's doing it because she knows that if she doesn't, a significant number of her clients will drop out of therapy over that long of a break. They'll go through therapy detox and head for the hills. So she's going to give you just enough contact to keep the money coming in when she returns.

And odds are, even though you know this, it will still work, because therapy is a helluva drug, and other people who are equally as addicted will say that it's all okay and normalize it for you.

Personally, I think this sort of behavior is total BS. But it's up to the client to tolerate it or not.
