I frequently have taken breaks of 3-4 weeks in between sessions.
It helps me to check in with babble, and keep a journal. If I feel like I continue to learn and grow, even when not meeting with T that week, I still feel like a good client.
Sometimes, though these weeks are a reminder that stability and the bond with the T need regular "refreshing". It might be hard to go for so long without that feeling of contact and support.
Perhaps your T can recommend a group that you can meet with regularly in her absence, or another T that you can meet with once or twice ahead of time, and you can keep the "substitute" T on-call if you need to talk to someone.
Or, you can write your faxes, but put them in bottles and throw them into the sea once a week?
