Dear Charlotte:

You are welcome, and don’t worry about delays in posting back, post whenever it is convenient for you. It’s perfectly fine and appropriate for you to tell your therapist that you want to take a break from therapy, and maybe resume again later. You didn’t enter a legal contract with your therapist that says you have to  attend therapy with her for any particular length of time.

You can take a temporary or permanent break from therapy whenever you choose. Your only ethical, and/or legal  responsibilities to your therapist are: (1) to pay her for her services, (2) to give her a reasonable notice when cancelling an appointment, so that she can fill in the time with another client, (3) if you plan to not see her again for weeks, months or longer, it will be helpful to her if you let her know of it, so that she can plan her schedule better.

I am having a fine day, thank you. Personally, I am thrilled with the recent CDC guidelines regarding fully vaccinated people not having to wear masks outdoors and indoors, in most cases: I hope that these guidelines will encourage people who are vaccine- ambivalent, to get vaccinated!
