I think this is a great suggestion. I had a point in therapy when I was honestly and truly ready to go or stay...and leaning toward going. T asked me to come in for a session to talk about it, and I did. We both understood that it might be the last session, and we both worked hard to figure out what was going on, where the connection had gone, what both of our parts were in what was happening at the time.
I was lucky and T owned his part of what was happening...that helped a lot. I remember towards the end of the session feeling like "if I leave here feeling disconnected, I don't think I can come back" and I decided to take the risk and let my walls down. T and I have ways that we connect, so I asked him for one of those things (coming to sit with me) and he did and I tried really hard to accept his reaching out.
I didn't feel completely reconnected when I left, but I DID feel like it was worth coming back and continuing to try with him. And it was worth it.
I wonder....can you go on Monday and just be really honest about how you are feeling? That you don't even know if you should continue? Maybe the two of you can look at what is happening - what is happening with you, AND what is happening with him - and start to find your way out of the place you are at.
