Here again with another question for all you wise minds. I emailed my therapist about taking a break. Recently, I noticed that our sessions have felt unproductive. We weren't clicking, and it was frustrating. Every session, I'd talk about what I felt had gone awry with the prior session. I'm not sure what's happening. Are my expectations off? Have we reached the end of his toolkit? Are we both just a little tired? So I thought a break would be good to reset.

Anyway, my therapist is away in Timbuktu with very limited internet. Okay, I don't actually know this, but I'm imagining someplace very remote because he does have very limited internet. He immediately emailed back to say that he respected my wish to take a break, but would like to discuss it.

Sooo...the question. Have any of you had the session to discuss ending therapy (either permanently or temporarily)? Was it helpful? Was it productive? Were you glad you went?

I'm leaning towards going because I really like and respect my therapist. He's done a lot for me. At the same time, I can't imagine what could be said at session to illuminate this, and it feels potentially tiring and anxiety-provoking. Ok. Please discuss. Thanks!
