Still the benefit remains that there are times where pre-pandemic we would have simply had to miss the session (or several). But now we can easily schedule on zoom and still connect in that way.

That's a good point. I did ask my T at one point whether video sessions would always continue to be an option, and he said yes. I'm thinking they could also be helpful in bad weather or if I (or T, I suppose) were feeling ill to the point of not wanting to go to the office, but still wanting to do a session. Or in a scenario like you mentioned. Or if I was on vacation but still wanted to meet with him (which I did in the summer at one point).
I do understand that he'll need to take true breaks, and I've actually been rather concerned for his well-being that he *hasn't* taken them--even if it was just to sit around his house for a week. Or drive to a cabin in the woods or something.
I'm glad you were still able to keep meeting with your T, as 3 months would have been a really long break.
