I think I can relate to what you are feeling. When things got very intense in my therapy I felt like I needed a break but my T didnt like the idea. She didnt want me to have time to 'pack up' what I was revealing, even though it was so scary. Instead of actually skipping a session we would have a 'light session.' We wouldnt talk about issues of abuse or anything hard. I like talking about my pets or something that's more on the surface during these sessions. Would your T be up for that? Honestly I think that an actual break from therapy cant be all bad, but when your are in the middle of something tough I think a lighter session may be more helpful than no session at all.
