Firstly, kudos to you for going to regular therapy to process events of life. I too think it should be something that is routine instead of the stigma that it carries. You have one up on most other people who don't take the time for self-improvement, reflection, and growth.

I agree with you on the general dating scene for the 40+ age group. I do believe it's all about the timing too. I know you said you are taking a break, but it's always good to go back out to the field as you never know what comes your way. All the best!
