Hi, MP, It seems that maybe you should tell your T directly that his suggestion, and the thought of taking a break is bringing up these feelings of abandonment/rejection. It is really scary to even think about taking a break, so I can just imagine how you must feel.

Your T probably is trying to push for independence, and took a look at where he felt you were at. Bcause you felt safe, those feeling of fear of the abandonment/rejection might not have been at the forefront before he brought this up this idea. Perhaps after he sees and hears how distressing the thought of a break is at this time, he will see that these are issues that you can face together with more time.
