I have not taken breaks from therapy per se but my T is on holiday every summer for six weeks, which conveniently offers a nice break. Sure, during the first years of therapy, such a long break felt rather difficult and hard to tolerate.

But last few years I've been quite happy with such breaks because therapy is indeed very consuming both in terms of time, energy and money. It's nice not to have to get up super early every day to go to therapy. It's nice to keep this 30% of my monthly income for myself. It's nice to not have to deal with the aftermath of the therapy session, which often means just a feeling of being a bit drained both from the session it self and the early wake up, but that in worst case can mean being unproductive for the whole day.

I've considered taking a break on other times as well but have decided not to do it because when contemplating why I really want to do it, I've always found some wish to somehow punish my T and show him how useless and stupid he is. The rational me does not think that would be a good enough reason to take a break.
