I've only once taken a break from therapy. I don't remember how it came up, but my T felt like I should try without sessions because I had so much support at the time. Sadly, this is when I lost most my support, soon afterwards. I hit rock bottom.

I've had conversations with T about tapering down sessions. She thought I didn't need weekly sessions. We went to every other week, and we tried once every three weeks. I don't think I made it to once a month. It was really hard for me.

Maybe try tapering down sessions to start before you take a break? To see if you do need his support, just not at often. Maybe that will allow enough in life to talk about and feel like you're having a productive session. When T tapered me down, it did help to have more things to work on.
