Not sure — in the first few months of seeing her, her schedule was such that she was off every other week on the day I was seeing her (Sunday). So, out of four months, that was about 2 months worth of sessions.

Apart from that, a week in November, a week around Xmas, the usual Thanksgiving break, a week in Spring, a week in summer and oh yeah, a week between Spring and Summer.

And, then some random days here and there which happen to fall on my session days.

So, in total maybe 8-10 weeks if I assume that first year was an anomaly?

She once mentioned the loss of income as something that bothers therapists and I assume her as well — she told me that apparently, some psychoanalysts she knows have their clients pay them even when the analyst is away on vacation coz.....income.
