On the one hand I think it's really important to take holidays, and so it makes me happy that my T takes holidays. I think he is modelling good self care, healthy self esteem and things like that. Also it reassures me that he's not going to burn out and he will be able to handle what I throw at him!

But on the other hand I do see your point and if a lot of sessions are missed then that would seem irresponsible as well as uncaring on the T's part.

My personal opinion is that twice a year is an absolute minimum as far as taking a holiday goes (and I know not everyone can afford to go away every time, but I mean taking a break and relaxing from work). I think I prefer my T to take 3 or 4 holidays a year. I think it's generally a healthy thing and also I think being a T can be very demanding emotionally and so holidays are very important.
