Superficial before a break is good - and it helps make the off time bearable.
I recently took a (due to other things - mom's medical tests) break myself. We usually meet every week, but I only could squeeze one session in last month. And with all else going on it was less than productive.
Yesterday was my first day back, and I made it a bonding session too. I told him I didn't want to get into anything personal because of trust issues and that I needed to work back into it after such a long time.
So, motivated by this board, I brought up the issue of transference. I told him that it seems to be a bit issue for a lot of people and asked if I'm missing something and did it mean I wasn't "involved" enough in therapy for it to work. That topic got us going for a good while, followed by talk of different therapy models/methods.
It was actually pleasant.
