Nic,
We are all different and have different circumstances to work around. I know, because I've read in other posts, that you do not have the luxury of not working. Personally, beginning therapy has always been the hardest part for me. I think, once you are able to get over that hump in those 2-3 months that you have off will be great. Once school resumes, your therapist will most likely be able to cater to your schedule in that you could probably schedule sessions on Friday afternoons which will give you the weekend to recover. Also, tell your therapist about this specific concern, so that you two can also work on coping skills for when you do go back to work after summer break.
I honestly don't think that 2-3 months will be enough (however, we are all different.) But please don't let that discourage you. I think you will be able to find a solution to this. Tell your therapist up front your concerns.
Good luck and I'm glad to hear that you will be starting therapy!
Best,
