I take breaks of about a month when I feel this way, and I'm really honest about it. Basically I say I want to see how I'll do on my own for a while- this keeps the door open for my return if I feel the need to. Some therps really don't like their clients to end therapy and will try to convince you to stay, that's why I like the 'vacation' approach. If you do decide to terminate, then you should schedule at least 2 appointments to say good-bye, and remember lots of people come back for 'tune-ups' every year.
best of luck-judy
