Not necessarily related to a break, but I've had to check in on whether he understood something before. Like if he seemed kind of dismissive of it (when I thought it was a big insight) or just didn't seem to get what I was saying.

I'm sorry it seems like you and R aren't on the same page. I know how painful that can be. I'd definitely talk to her about it. I've found that tends to help. I'd normally say to consider emailing about it before your next session (even for her to just read it and not reply), but I know she's had technology issues lately, so that might not be a good idea. Maybe write or type up what you're thinking about it and hand it to her at the start of your next session? I've done that a couple times.

And hugs, if wanted.
