Hey all,

I'm considering taking a break from therapy, which I've started last month for something that I've put in a corner of my mind for over 10 years. My therapist is lovely and does find the words to help me see things from a more positive angle. I want to keep this short, so let's get to it. Over last week, for the very first time, I've seen what happened to me all these years ago from a completely different angle, and although I'm glad I've gained understanding, it was also extremely painful, to the extent that I was unable to go to work for 2 days and a half. I was having panic attacks where I cried a lot, feeling nauseous etc...didnt experience these in a very long time.
During my time off work, I've seen T and it helped tremendously. I know that I've got a long road ahead, but I feel that I want to take a break from therapy for a few weeks. To sort of give me some time to get back on track, to regain that spark I had before last week. On the other hand, continuing with therapy could be what I need to help me through this..I dont know, I'm confused. What do you think I should do?

Try a small break, like a week, see how that goes... if you do ok, you can take a longer break

Remember, you can always return when you are ready.

You know yourself best. If you think you need to do that to regain stability than by all means do it. There is no therapeutic benefit to overwhelming yourself.
