That's a great idea -- get some perspective. Do you plan on telling him that you're taking a break? I can see both sides of that coin.
Something to think about: If you see him every week, do you 1) make your next appointment when you're on the table in the current appointment, 2) have a standing appointment the same day and time every week, or 3) play it by ear and schedule one session at a time? If it's 1 or 2, he might ask why you're cancelling/taking a break, so you need to have an answer prepared.
